Grassroots Input

I'm tentatively looking at holding the annual Grassroots meeting around September 13-14. Since time is precious for many of you, I would like to do a shorter meeting, either from 9:30-12:30 or from 1 - 4.

Last year we focused on teens/tweens. The year before Kimberly Faurot did a storytime presentation.


Are you interested in having someone brought in to speak? Who would this be, and what would he/she speak about? If so, do you have someone in mind? Or, are you interested in having some of "us" present on things that went well this summer?


What do you think? Email or call me any ideas!

Detective Agency Display

The Farnsworth Public Library in Oconto created a P.I. Office display in their children's area, featuring an "old," manual typewriter, as well as handcuffs (for viewing only!) The "Wanted" posters on the wall are of library staff, each one with a different library offense!
