Petition for Direct Legislation

On August 26, 2013 a Petition for Direct Legislation was provided to the Clerk's office.  The Village Clerk completed the certification process and deemed the petition sufficient in regard to the number of electors signatures required; and the petition itself and proposed resolution are sufficient as to proper form.  The petition will be forwarded to the Village Board for action at the regular Village Board meeting to be held on Monday, October 7, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. in the Court Room of the Village Hall, 3930 N Murray Avenue. 

The petition requests that the Village of Shorewood hold a referendum asking residents whether they would support a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, which states corporations have the same constitutional rights as people and can freely donate to campaigns.

The Shorewood Library's fall programs are ready to roll out. Here's a look at what's happening: 

• Pre-School Storytime starts up in September for a new crew of 3 and 4 year olds. Register beginning on Monday, September 9, with storytimes running on Thursdays staring September 28.
• Once a month from September through December we'll offer an evening of family fun with Craft Nights. Bring the whole family from young to old.
• The youngest tots may also have fun at Pop in and Play (for children 6 months to 3 years of age) where they will build critical early literacy skills through stories, games and free play.
• School-age kids are invited to leave their parents at home and head to Camp Half-Blood on September 25. It will be a Percy Jackson action-packed afternoon of trivia, games and more - all about Rick Riordan's awesome series.
• Teens 13+ are invited to Library Late Nights, October through December. At Late Nights, the after-hours library will be a teen-only quiet study space or loud game-playing space, while we make stuff or watch movies.  

Back to school is a busy time, so let the Library make it easier for you: program information is not only listed here, but also on flyers for you to take home, and on the Library's Facebook and Twitter pages.
