News Update

Here are a few things you should know:

  • Welcome to our new cafe vendor @SW, Bacos Tacos and Waffles. Akela Brown is delighted to take your order in advance of lunchtime so you don't need to wait. (262) 595-8303 The banana chocolate waffles look especially appealing...
  • The marble entryway at Simmons has been gradually failing, and we are taking the holiday closing opportunity to get a new floor installed. Since there is only one way for the public to enter the building, we need to close completely to get the work done. Simmons will be closed December 21st-25th. Brandi is sending this message out by various media and we'll have signs on the front door for our regular patrons who don't visit our website or social media.
  • Our next Board meeting is tomorrow evening at 5:30pm at NS. The Board will approve the 2018 budget, organizational chart, wage scale, and Business Plan. The 2018 budget includes a 1.9% wage increase for all staff beginning July 1. 
  • The Board has approved Sunday summer hours at Southwest starting 2018. We will mimic winter hours, 12-4pm. 
  • The Mayor is hosting a holiday lunch at noon on Friday from 11-2 in room 302 at City Hall and you're invited! 
  • The annual KPL Cookie Walk is next Monday. Drop by CCB if you can- we always have a room full of dazzling sweets to share.
  • In just a few more weeks, we will be opening the doors of the new Digital Media Lab! Thanks to Wally and crew for making this a priority, and to Marcia for leading the planning team for the terrific programming we will do there.
  • I'll be visiting family in Louisiana from December 20-25. I can always be reached by phone and will regularly check email. For immediate emergencies, Lin will be available.
Have a wonderful week!
