News for the Week


  • Kenosha Common Council passed our 2019 tax levy this week. Our Board will review and vote on our budget on December 11th. The city determines how much money it will contribute to library services. Our board determines how we spend the money. Although the city gave us no increase this year, we did generate extra income through the library system by serving more people outside our library district. The county reimburses us for that service. 
  • Tomorrow evening beginning at 5pm at SW, our library board, Friends board and Foundation board will come together to celebrate a very successful 2018. Please join us if you can.
  • If you haven't read Palaces for the People, I highly recommend you do. The premise of the book is that parks and libraries are the social infrastructure essential to a healthy society. Bloomberg took up the idea this week with this opinion piece.  One more reason to be proud of what you do!
  • Thanks to everyone who has signed up for the wage study results sessions. I'm really looking forward to speaking with all of you! 
  • I'll be visiting my grandson on December 6th and 7th. Lin or Anne can help with any emergencies and I am always available by phone.
Happy weekend, Everyone!
