Book sale this weekend

Setup begins tonight for the NS book sale. Staff are always welcome to help. If you can't, please be sure to tell an FOL member how much we value all their hard work. FOL donates over $20,000 to the library every year from these fundraisers for programs and services we might not be able to afford any other way. It's a lot of work! But it reaps great benefits.

Here's more news:

• To see how libraries are standing for social justice, take a look at this post, including many wonderful displays. http://bookriot.com/2017/02/10/libraries-resist-round-tolerance-social-justice-resistance-us-libraries/
• On Thursday, the final installment of the 2017 Business Plan presentation comes to SW @1pm. Joe Davies will deliver his last performance as Head of ADS before he heads off to Burlington to lead that library. Please join us on Friday afternoon for a fond farewell to both Pam and Joe. We wish them great success and happiness!
• Congratulations and thank you to Shannon and JeTaun for co-leading the ADS department as we consider our next move. They both stepped up months ago to train for Joe's position in our Choose Your Own Adventure succession planning. Now they are ready to test what they know in support of their department. We have every faith that they will both shine!
• The City has moved the Snow Days event to February 18th at Library Park in the hopes that the weather will be cold enough to sustain the ice and snow sculptures.
• We will host the SHARE Directors' Council on March 7th @NS to demo the new AMH system to the consortium.
• Also on March 7th, the Kenosha Creative Economy group meets at Uptown Neighborhood Library to engage with local artists, performers, writers, and other creative types, asking the question, What can be done to support a creative economy in Kenosha? All are welcome.
