and  Monday, May 27

The library will be closed on Tuesday, May 21, due to our construction project. We also will be closed on Monday, May 27, for Memorial Day.

Wishing our patrons a wonderful holiday

with family and friends.

Join Master Gardener Sarah Huggins at the Wonewoc Public Library on Monday, May 6 at 1:30 p.m. as she shares her gardening expertise and helps us kick off our Seed Lending Library! Some of the topics Sarah will address include: soil testing, lasagna gardening/ composting/mulching, container gardening, watering, seed starting indoors and when to plant/transplant. Call the library at 608-464-7625 by Friday, May 3 to register. There is no cost to attend. Stop by to help us celebrate the arrival of spring and gain inspiration for your own gardening dreams!

That Benefit Your Library!

The library is selling discount Mt. Olympic tickets for $5 each that can be used from May 25 (Memorial Day weekend) to July 3, 2013. These tickets are valid for both the indoor and outdoor waterparks. Upgrades for the Theme Park (roller coasters and rides) can be purchased at the Mt. Olympic ticket booth for an additional cost of $15 plus tax per person. Tickets are available NOW at the Wonewoc Public Library circulation desk, and will be sold through May 24. For each $5 ticket sold, $3 will go toward the library expansion!

Take advantage of this great offer for a fun day in the sun with your family and friends that also supports a fantastic cause!

to Break Ground April 15!

The long-anticipated expansion of the Wonewoc Public Library will begin its first phase on April 15 when the project officially breaks ground. To celebrate, the Library Board and staff invite the public to attend our groundbreaking ceremony on April 15 at 2:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!

See a Movie–Support Your Library!

Join us at the Elroy Movie Theatre on Saturday, March 23 from 12-1:30 p.m. for an exclusive showing of the hit Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph, with proceeds benefiting the Library Expansion Fund. The show is open to all children in 4-K through 6th grade. Parents don’t need to stay for the movie–the Wonewoc FFA will provide supervision. Tickets are only $5 and include popcorn, a drink and a snack. A special thank you to our event sponsors: the Wonewoc Fire Department, Wonewoc Library Board and Dempsey’s Taxidermy.

As we get ready for our second monthly  LEGOs in the Library Block Party, we anticipate even greater numbers of young builders to join us for an hour of creativity, collaboration and FUN! Our problem–we could really use more LEGOs! Do you have a child who has outgrown his or her old LEGO sets? Please consider donating them to the library so a new group of budding architects can enjoy them. LEGOs can be dropped off at the library during normal business hours: Mon.-Fri. 9-5:30.

Reminder: The next LEGOs Block Party will be held Wednesday, January 30 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. See you there!

Did you receive a new tablet or e-reader for the holidays and need some help getting started? Join us for a free class on Tuesday, January 22 from 10-11 a.m. We’ll cover the basics for iPads, Nooks and Kindles, including how to download library books to your device. Hope to see you there!
