News for the week:

• The shelving, benches, playpods, learning walls,  tables, and chairs are ordered for KPL Kids! We're looking at a 6-12 week turnaround for some pieces, but others should arrive sooner. Little by little, the room is coming together. 
• We're changing carpet in the back portion of the new KPL Kids room  while we wait for furniture. That will get ordered this week.
• The power wall shelving should be up early next week along the main entryway at NS.

• SRP is underway for kids, teens, and adults! All the details are here.
• We'll be adding gardening staff in another week. Look out, weeds! Your days are numbered.
• The Simmons 115th Anniversary Celebration has been postponed to September 26 due to an extended construction period.
• The library board meeting scheduled for Monday has been moved to Wednesday at 5:30pm at NS. We wll have a changing of the guard July 1. Len Iaquinta and Gordon Wyllie have both reached term limits and will be replaced with George O'Malley and Dianna Hodges.
• The FOL book sale is tonight through Sunday at SW.
• WGTD will air an interview with about SRP in Kenosha County on Saturday, June 13th at 10:30am
• Virginia Brown, a resident of Bristol, has agreed to join the KCLS board.

• Laura Kastelic, Lynda Gerlach, and Linda Smith have all announced their retirements this summer. The combined service to the Kenosha community of these wonderful women is just staggering. They will be sorely missed by us and the patrons they served for so many years. We wish them every happiness in this new phase of their lives.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
