Another successful grant application! Thanks to Heather's grant writing skills, we will receive $10,000 toward a shared project with KUSD called “Kenosha Diverse Books Initiative.” This will pave the way to bring an author of young people's literature to Kenosha! Thanks, Heather!
Don't forget our staff meetings next Thursday January 30 at 8am (SW) and 5pm (NS)
Would you like to participate in planning a Children's Story Garden @SW? Send your ideas for must-have features, pictures of gardens you love, and activities you'd like to see via this form. It's a large space: 150 feet by 32 feet. We can make this really awesome.
After we collect all our ideas, we'll begin regular meetings to lay out the plans on paper, invite community partners to participate, and get started in the spring.
Thanks to our great benefactor Betsy Brown for providing the seed money for this delightful project!
This week's Bright Spot Award goes to Stephanie for an outstanding first 3 weeks as Branch Manager. Her enthusiasm for her new role has already landed a grant supported jobs training program, a smooth space transition with the literacy council, a community conversation in March led by Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families, NAACP and Urban League voter registration events, and 73 people from the neighborhood on our first Friday! Way to start a new job!
Stay dry, everyone, and have a fabulous weekend!
