FOL Book Store Opens This Weekend

From Michelle:
The Friends of the Kenosha Public Library Bookstore will be open this weekend to the public. Many of the volunteers have had training but not real world retail experience so this will be a soft opening with a more regular schedule to follow in the near future.

Saturday Hours : 10:00am to 4:00pm
Sunday Hours: 12:00pm to 3:00pm

There is a possibility that their credit card machine may not be up and running yet this weekend so please be patient if they send a customer to the circ desk for a purchase with a credit card. They will soon have a KPL phone with voicemail if you receive calls for them.  I will announce that number when I get it.

Please forward any questions or concerns.

Thank you!

  • Uptown Library will be open on Fridays 9am to 6pm  starting January 17th. We'll throw a party at the branch to celebrate on January 15th in honor of Martin Luther King's birthday. 
  • Fond farewell to Dana, our Simmons Children's Room treasure who brought delight to so many young readers over the years. Your legacy lives on! We wish you renewed health and lifelong happiness!
  • Fond farewell to Traci who is transferring to Public Works. I'm sure we will see you often as we visit city hall and will be super jealous when you have a beautiful new building to work in! Thanks for all your years of service to KPL. 
  • I'll be at a training event on Friday and a conference next week with a few scattered vacation days in between. While I'm out Linda and Rob are your go-to decision makers.


This week's Bright Spot goes to Martha and Jon who bravely worked  without complaint at Uptown without heat Monday morning. It got pretty chilly- into the 50s, yet there were many patrons who were glad their neighborhood library was open. Thanks for going above and beyond to keep vital library service available to this challenged neighborhood!
