Dear Friends of the Library, Once again we are preparing for the Friends annual meeting and book sale. As part of the Lioness Memorial Day celebration we will have a tent at the Lakewood Town Hall grounds on Sunday, May 30. We will have a great selection of books this year, including many children's books and newer hardcovers. As an exciting new feature, we will be drawing names for free books (for adults and children) throughout the book sale. We still need book donations - this is a great time to clean your bookshelves! Bring book donations to the library in Lakewood. We also need workers to help set up and take down after the show - just leave your name at the library. Spring is here and the first bulbs are poking through the ground in front of the library. We have ordered more bulbs to bloom after the tulips and crocus. Jane and Stan Lapacz care for the flower beds and they would love help planting the bulbs and annuals generously donated by Marilyn's Greenhouse -- just leave your name at the library.
The library board
has set up an endowment fund for supplementing future expenditures
and has asked the Friends for seed money. The Friends' board
decided to give a thousand dollars to the This year, our annual meeting will be held in conjunction with the book sale. Both president and secretary are up for reelection. These are two-year terms. Nominations will be taken from the floor but we would like to go into the meeting with a ballot of candidates. If you are interested, call at 715-276-6712. I have held this position much longer than our constitution allows and am getting a little burned out. There are only two events that take time and effort, both money-raisers, and three meetings per year that are involved in these jobs. PLEASE think seriously about getting involved - it's your library, too! -- Barb Konopacky, President |

Have you checked
out the library's web page?!! If not, you could be missing out on
a great source for finding quality information on the Internet and
for ordering library materials. If you need computer/Internet access,
use one of the 5 free stations at the library. If you need some assistance
in learning how to use the web site, ask library staff.
Message from the President of the Library Board of Trustees:
The Board
of Trustees for the Lakes Country Public Library has established an
Endowment Fund.
Form time to time, moneys donated to the Lakes Country Public Library,
either as gifts or bequests, by friends, citizens, and/or organizations
of the community at the stipulation of the donor will become part
of the Endowment Fund.
It is the obligation of the Board of Trustees to insure that stipulations provided by the donor regarding the use and acknowledgement of the donation be honored.
The Board of Trustees reserves the right to refuse any donation that is not consistent with the library's mission or laws of the State of Wisconsin.
The Endowment Fund shall be sustaining with the Board of Trustees spending only the interest generated in the previous calendar year. The long range goal for the use of endowment moneys is to fund a variety of innovative projects that benefit and are accessible to the library's entire constituency.
We invite
you to consider the Endowment Fund as a means of assisting the Lakes
Country Public Library to be the very best in can be.
