Weekly News Article

Master Gardner Volunteers We are very lucky to have two Master Gardeners to help at the library with the beautification of the landscape. They are Carol Titel and Pat Beetcher. They have completed the Master Gardner Volunteer program at the Spooner Agriculture Center. Part of becoming a Master Gardner is to complete at least 24 hours of volunteer service. We really appreciate their help!

Food For Fines We had such a great success during November and December with our Food For Fines program, that we have decided to try it again this summer. During the last week of May, June, July and August, we will accept non-perishable food in place of fines on materials. They food will be given to the local food pantry.

Sampling e-books

OverDrive "eBook Samples" have been added to the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC) Digital Books catalog for patrons who wish to sample ten percent of a story immediately on their computer or mobile device before deciding to check it out, ultimately reducing holds and wait lists. A "Sample" button will appear below the jacket of eBooks that can be previewed. For more information visit the OverDrive Digital Library Blog:
