From there, you can log on to WISCAT, the Wisconsin State
Union Catalog.  If you cannot find the materials you are
searching for in our Merlin Catalog, please look in the
WISCAT catalog and call to ask us to order WISCAT
materials for you (You will not be able to order items from
WISCAT yourself, but you can locate them and then ask
our library to order them for you.)  Please call the library
if you have any questions...715-866-7697.

Federal and State TAX FORMS are available on the Lower Level of the library. 

National Library Week -  Here are some of the activities we are planning:
 Food for Fines Amnesty – the library will forgive $1 worth of fines for every can or box of non-perishable food brought to the library during National Library Week.  All food items will be donated to the local food pantry.
 Culver’s Coloring Contest for kids eleven and under – when the coloring sheet is returned to the library the kids will receive a certificate for a free Culver’s ice cream cone.  There will also be a random drawing for two prizes. 
 There will be a drawing for adults for a free gift certificate to a local restaurant.
 We are having a contest to guess how many books we have in our library’s collection.

Pre-School Story Hour:  Story Hour meets every Wednesday morning at
10:30 a.m.  We enjoyed the company of the Hertel Headstart children this week and they plan to visit us every Wednesday for a story!

Adult Book Club:  The book club meets at 10:00 a.m. on the 4th Tuesday of each month on the lower level of the Burnett Community Library.  March 23rd will be the next meeting of the discussion group.  We will be reading Our Town by Thornton Wilder, as a part of the Big Read Event. If you need a copy of the book, please call me at the library and I will order a copy for you. Everyone is welcome!
