Welcome to the New Website
It's a whole new shorewoodlibrary.org
We're excited to welcome you to the new ShorewoodLibrary.org. After spending nearly a year working with Milwaukee web developer, Byte Studios, the new Internet home for Shorewood Library is complete. We designed this site with you in mind, making it simpler to access the library catalog, research databases, and recommendations for reading. We've added a staff-written blog to keep you in the know, and highlighted other ways you can connect to the library and your community. Please explore it and don't hesitate to let us know what you think!

Kathy Reichs in Shorewood
Reichs comes to promote latest YA book
Kathy Reichs and Brendan Reichs In collaboration with Boswell Book Company, we're presenting Kathy Reichs with her co-author (and son) Brendan Reichs for one night only!

The Reichs are coming to promote the latest book in their young adult series, Virals. The fourth book in the sci-fi thriller series, called Exposure, follows teenaged Tory Brennan - niece of the world-famous Temperance Brennan - and her pack as they investigate and abduction and make a startling realization about their own powers.

Kathy Reichs is best-known for her book series about forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, which was turned into a TV show on FOX called Bones. Although she is here with Brendan to discuss their Young Adult series, we heartily encourage Bones fans to attend! The Reichs will sign books and take pictures with fans.

Boswell Book Company will have books available for purchase before and after the visit.

From the Friends
A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
 

February Media Sale
Thank you to everyone who supported the Friends of Shorewood Public Library CD/DVD sale in February. This sale brought in over $800 which will be used to support the Friends mission including public programming, volunteer support of the library and collection purchases.

Volunteers Needed
Like to visit the library and have a little time to give back to a place that has given you so much? The Friends are looking for volunteers to help with public events and with our Adopt a Shelf program. Events include author visits and the Summer Celebration. In the Adopt a Shelf program, you will be trained to help with one shelf in the library. You learn how books are organized on "your" shelf. Then you stop by yourself on your schedule to check if books are in order or reorangize the shelf. It is a great way to learn and to help other library patrons find what they need!  Contact the Friends at
shwd.libraryfriends@gmail.com or call the Library at 846-2670 to be put in touch with the Friends about volunteering.
