Friends of the Caestecker Public Library
Newsletter - Happy October!
|
As I type, the lot on which the new American Legion Hall will be built is being cleared of the remains of the old hall. As one of my co-workers commented this morning, "wow - a lot can happen in one day!" We wish our neighbors the best in their construction project. A lot happens at the library every day, too, though it usually doesn't require heavy equipment.
October is one of those months that is filled with celebrations and commemorations and conferences (and candy, if we go for the alliteration). One of the best celebrations as far as the library is concerned is National Friends of Libraries Week, falling October 18-24 this year. It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many things that the Friends of the Library do for us each year. It's also when the Friends hold their annual meeting. This year that auspicious event will be held over lunch at the Goose Blind on Wednesday the 21st. The meeting begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch to follow. Cost of the meal is only $5.00, payable with your reservation at the library (by October 17th, please) or at the door. We hope to fill the restaurant with Friends! If you aren't already a member, joining the Friends is easy, and only $5.00 a year.
Two special programs are highlighted below. And November is shaping up to be another busy month, with the Dickens Festival and an opportunity to get involved in a MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) from UW-Madison with local discussions on the topic of Climate Change Policy and Public Health.
Our Thursday Morning Conversations continue each week at 10:00. We look forward to welcoming Fran Hill from Town Square, members of the Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Service's Green Lake team, and volunteers from the Green Lake County Food Pantry as we move through October.
We're never at a loss for something to do here at the library. Please join us for as many events as you find to be of interest. And if we haven't yet hit on your favorite topics, please let me know.
