Brown County Library Encourages Return of Overdue Items

11/24/2021

0 Comments

 

Amnesty Week Offers Fine Forgiveness

We are all guilty of it – library materials that we forgot to return on time or at all. Knowing life happens, Brown County Library is offering fine forgiveness during the week of November 29 – December 5, 2021. Whether overdue library items are few days late or a few years late, fines for items returned during Amnesty Week will be waived.

“If having overdue items are keeping people from coming back to the library, we want to change that! This amnesty program encourages the return of library materials - no questions asked,” said Sarah Sugden, the Library’s Executive Director. 

Items returned must be in good, usable condition. As a convenience, items can be returned to an outdoor book drop. Fine forgiveness applies only to items returned from November 29 – December 5 and does not apply to existing fines or items borrowed through Interlibrary Loan.  

For additional information call 920-448-4400 or visit

Kewaunee Public Library Celebrates Family Fall Festival

The Kewaunee Public Library celebrated its annual Family Fall Festival on October 21. The cold and misty day didn’t stop the fun, which was originally planned to be outside.

The library moved the fun indoors while keeping patrons' safety in mind: all games and activities were well-spaced and separated by tall shelves. The festival was run all day long to avoid too many patrons at one time. It worked out well and library staff enjoyed visits from 85 patrons!

In addition to the games and activities, staff bagged up cookies and edible skeletons for patrons to take home. Apple cider juice boxes and coffee were offered as well. Small pieces of candy and prizes ended the patrons' visit.

Library staff received positive feedback from attendees.

September Library Card Sign-Up month was observed in a dynamic way this year at the Door County Library. People who signed up for their first library card and those who stopped at their local branch to update their current card were able to enter a raffle for three book bags filled by the Friends of Door County Libraries.

New card owners were also gifted with a special Door County Library mug, pen and sticky notes. Special stickers were also given away during the month.

At the end of the month, the library partnered with the Door County Seed Library and the Climate Change Coalition of Door County to give away packets of seeds for winter/spring sowing and an evergreen tree to plant!

The Door County Library signed up 175 patrons for new cards - more than it had ever signed up during the month of September.

​Best of all, library staff met new library users and reconnected with long-time patrons.
