Celebrate “One World, Many Stories” by attending a special “program in the park” on Saturday, June 25th from 11 a.m. to noon in Blair’s Riverside Memorial Park.  Jim & Vicki Hovre will have their beautiful Norwegian Fjord horses on display.  These horses have a proud Norwegian heritage and will be a delight to see for any age.  This is a free program and open to the public.  Look for us in the park and don’t forget your camera!

If you value your local public library and the service it provides, you are invited to attend a free presentation on Wednesday, June 29 at 7 p.m. at Black River Falls Public Library, 222 Fillmore Street.  ”The State Budget & Wisconsin Libraries” will be the topic presented by Ron McCabe, director of the McMillan Memorial Library in Wisconsin Rapids.  Mr McCabe is an experienced consultant and library development expert.  In his nonpartisan presentation he will discuss the important role of libraries in expanding educational opportunites.  He will offer meaningful suggestions for managing library services in today’s challenging budget climate.

Members of the public, library directors and staff, library trustees, and municipal officials are encouraged to attend this informative event.  Admission is free and no tickets are required.

Co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Library Association, Winding Rivers Library System, and the Black River Falls Public Library.

Enjoy the handiwork of quilter and doll expert Mary Maldonado this month at the library.  Don’t miss the intricate patterns and hand embroidery that are hallmarks of Mary’s quilts.  Mary’s son Michael had a hand in one of the quilts hanging from the balcony.  Stop in and see if you can guess which quilt it is!  Mary’s doll collection is also on display and is quite a treat.  All these dolls have been restored and refurbished by Mary, and each doll has an interesting story of its own.  The dolls will be switched out on a weekly basis, so be sure to stop in often to see this wonderful collection.
