Former Children's Librarian Retires

There is an article posted on Newsofthenorth.net on Kris Adams Wendt from the Rhinelander District Library. After 34 years, Wendt is retiring as the director but was the children's librarian for 27 of those years.

It's an interesting article on how things changed throughout the decades for her as a children's librarian
“It was a time when children’s departments around the state were relegated—literally—to the basement with cast-off furniture,” she says.
and how the Rhinelander community raised money for a new children's area in the library.
