News for the Week

From the Kenosha County Health Department:
WE NEED YOUR HELP to reach more of Kenosha County’s 65+ population and get them vaccinated. They can call the COVID-19 Call Center to get a guaranteed appointment! If your 65+ neighbor/family member/friend is anxious, has many questions, needs help with transportation to a vaccination clinic…our amazing call center staff is standing by with a patient listening ear to answer all the questions. 262-605-6799. Please help spread the word. Thank you! 😊

KPL will host Nick Eschmann from Kenosha KFD on March 3rd at 8:30am in person at SW and streaming virtually for a staff Q&A on upcoming vaccinations. Nick is the head EMT for KFD and KFD will be administering our vaccines.

The next election will be held on April 6th from 7am to 8pm at NS and SW. Linda will touch base soon about any additional staffing needs at SW to cover the day.

The next library board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9th at 5:30.

The Big Read kicks off Monday evening with Emile Graslie. Watch her presentation live by signing up online. 

Food for Fines happens March 7-13 this year. We'll accept nonperishable items and toiletries for Grace Welcome Center and pet food and supplies for Safe Harbor Humane Society.

It's Aldo Leopold Week starting Monday! Wisconsin has a proud history of environmental stewardship and Aldo Leopold is one of its most famous native sons. Join us for outstanding programming sponsored by KPL and UW Parkside.

This week's Bright Spot goes to Jennifer Kozelou, our brilliant Mistress of the NEA Big Read! Jennifer started crafting the application for the upcoming celebration more than a year ago,  and finished her outstanding submission just a few weeks before her baby boy Hudson came into this world. She returned to KPL and immediately began in her new role as Northside Branch Manager, yet never skipped a beat keeping the Big Read program planning on track. Jennifer, you continue to amaze us with the creative programs you deliver, all so meticulously organized. Your hard work is so very much appreciated!
