Think Spring, Think Kingfish Staff Outing!

Right now it may seem like winter will never end, but the onset of spring is right around the corner and soon you'll be breaking out the shorts and flip flops. So we're starting to plan now for summer sun.
The Kenosha Public Library Foundation is the charity of choice for the Kingfish Game on Wednesday July 3rd. That means whatever money we raise that night will be split 50/50 with the winner. The first pitch is at 6:30pm. To celebrate all things library, KPL is reserving at least 50 tickets for staff and their family and friends. The tickets are normally $12 for admission to the game and a free Kingfish hat, but we are offering you the same ticket for $5. We'll get a block of seats together, wear our KPL shirts, and cheer for the team. You can sign up with your child or grandchild for the toilet seat races or any other crazy activity. And if it's always been your dream to throw out the first pitch, this may be the night you've been waiting for.
We'll park the new bookmobile by the back parking lot ticket office and get kids signed up for Summer Reading. We're working with the Kingfish to find a sponsor for book bags to hand out. Foundation volunteers will sell raffle tickets in the stands and host a table by the team store to promote the library, the Friends, and the Foundation.
But wait, you say. KPL is open till 9pm on Wednesday. Not everyone will be able to attend. Don't worry. We're going to ask the Board to close early that day so everyone who wants to go can go.
I hope you will join us! We took over 80 people to the ballpark last time. Let's break that record!

Look for signup sheets soon.
