Governor Evers Issues National Library Card Sign-Up Month Proclamation

9/8/2021

0 Comments

 
The following is from a press release from the Wisconsin Library Association.
PictureNational Library Card Sign-Up Month Proclamation
​Governor Evers Issues National Library Card Sign-Up Month Proclamation

(Madison, Wisconsin) The Wisconsin Library Association thanks Governor Tony Evers for his proclamation in recognition of Library Card Sign-up Month this September. The Governor’s recognition of libraries as an essential community resource and library cards as a critical tool for empowering students and fueling academic success is much appreciated. A copy of the proclamation can be found here.

Throughout the month of September, Wisconsin libraries will join Governor Evers, the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students to get the school year off to the best possible start by signing up for a library card - the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. In a separate proclamation, Governor Evers also established September 6 as National Read a Book Day throughout the state of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin libraries offer a wide range of resources - from early literacy programs to virtual homework help and GED classes, helping transform lives and communities through education. Want to learn more? Visit your local library, sign up for a library card, and support your local library today!

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries work together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card. To learn more, visit www.ala.org.

Oconto Falls Library at The Fair

9/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Guest Post by Joan Denis, Director of Oconto Falls Community Library
Oconto Falls Library spent four days at the Oconto County Youth Fair. In 2019 we had a booth at the fair trying to identify photos of 52 barns in Oconto County taken in 1949. Some were identified and we continued to work on the remaining farm photos. This spring we went out to the farms and took a matching picture to the 1949 photo.  Many people stopped by remembering the project to see what we had done and others to see the changes in the farming landscape. We met past and present landowners, neighbors who grew up near the farms and young farmers looking at the past.

Our total exhibit had five banners each with the topic of Barns, Aerials, Animals, Helping Each Other,  and Families featuring photos from our vintage photo collection. This Spring we were also at the Oconto County Breakfast on the Farm with the exhibit. The response from the public was overwhelming and encouraging us to continue our work.

UntitledTown Literary Arts Programming Makes Comeback

9/2/2021

0 Comments

 

UntitledTown and Friends of the Brown County Library team up to revive UntitledTown literary arts programming

Destination: UntitledTown - where culture and literary arts abound
​
UntitledTown, northeast Wisconsin’s premier source for dynamic and daring literary arts experiences, turned the page to a new chapter in partnership with the Friends of the Brown County Library.
  
After canceling the 2020 Book & Author Festival because of the pandemic, UntitledTown organizers took the opportunity to explore partnership with the Friends of the Brown County Library.
  
“UntitledTown’s partnership with the Friends of the Brown County Library opens up new opportunities to connect our community with the types of literary experiences we know they want,” said Amy Mazzariello, owner of Lion’s Mouth Bookstore and an original founder of UntitledTown. “Working with Brown County Library, Lion’s Mouth Bookstore, and others as additional partners, UntitledTown’s new chapter promises to be the best and most thrilling yet.”
  
“The Friends of the Brown County Library is proud to partner with UntitledTown to offer these exciting and engaging literary experiences,” said Sherrill Revolinski, Friends of the Brown County Library Board President. “Supporting literary arts is vital to our education and learning; the Friends are enthusiastic for this opportunity.” Revolinski added.

This new community partnership debuted at “UntitledTown: The Comeback Event,” a day celebration of reading, writing, and stories. UntitledTown: the Comeback Event will feature almost twenty authors, including Miranda and Baptiste Paul, Nickolas Butler, Patricia Skalka, Amanda Skenandore, Pao Lor, and Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.

UntitledTown: the Comeback Event took place on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at Brown County Library’s Central Library in downtown Green Bay.

The revived UntitledTown is planning a variety of literary events throughout 2022, with the Book & Author Festival returning in 2023.

Gillett Schools: A Century of Learning

9/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Guest Post by Shannon Nichola Stoner, Gillett Public Library Director
The Gillett Public Library, in partnership with the Gillett Historical Society, have created a display featuring how our schools have changed over a century. Multiple one-room schoolhouses have been consolidated into a single location. Gillett School District students have seen many changes over the years. None of these changes have impacted students with such depth as technology.

Blackboard slates have been replaced by paper notebooks. No longer are the days when students pack their lunches in lard pails or carry cigar boxes with ink wells. Cell phones now occupy pockets where jacks and marbles were once used for recess fun.

Those interested in exploring Gillett’s schoolyard history can visit the Gillett Public Library at 200 East Main Street in Gillett on Mondays through Thursdays from 10 am to 6 pm and Fridays 10 am to 5 pm.

For more relics of Gillett’s academic past, please contact the Gillett Historical Society, 110 West Main Street, 920-598-1910.
