We realize it’s President’s Day, but we are OPEN nonetheless. The Kewaskum Public Library is only closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, Labor Day, New Years, Easter, and Independence Day. We’re not a federal organization, so we do not close for federal holidays. We are also open on Halloween.

There are an estimated 8,000-12,000 Amish in Wisconsin. Author Richard Dawley has written 8 books about Amish and Mennonite culture. He has traveled extensively to Amish communities around the US and even to Switzerland, from whence the Amish originally come. We’re excited to have Mr. Dawley joining us on Tuesday, March 13, with a presentation on “The Plain People.” He has made it his goal to dispel myths and build understanding about the Amish and other Anabaptist groups. This program is FREE and open to the public. Please sign up at the library or call 626-4312 for more information. The program starts at 6pm and includes time for discussion.

We do have some new magazine subscriptions this year:  Natural Home and Gardens, Creative Crochet, and the Packer Report. A few more will be coming in, we’ll let you know about them when they get here. We’ve also been getting in more Wii games. You can get a list of our Wii games by clicking here. So what’s going away? Shonen Jump, for one. Magazines are starting to limit their availability to libraries, some disappearing altogether. Also, with the new Wii system debuting at the end of 2012, it’s only a matter of time before we stop getting new games. But take heart! Something new and exciting is just around the corner!
