 Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS) and Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS) libraries are sending messages that stick with custom vinyl stickers to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month throughout September.
Library card holders new and old are encouraged to spread the excitement of getting their Wisconsin library cards by showing off these fun, custom stickers on their water bottles, phone cases, laptops, social media, and elsewhere! Each sticker also draws awareness to getyourlibrarycard.org, which explains the importance of library cards and shows people how they can get library cards within their own counties. Be on the lookout for similar promotions in libraries throughout the state, as public libraries all over Wisconsin are helping spread the word about Library Card Sign-Up Month with these one-of-a-kind, Wisconsin-themed stickers. Contact your local library to see how you can get your very own “I got my library card” stickers today! Here are the headlines from the August 18, 2023 - 📢 Nic News Weekly:

The Kewaunee Public Library implemented a four-part series of Lifelong Learning classes for its community with the help of a Library Improvement and Innovation Grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System. The classes were offered both in the library and at three assisted living facilities in Kewaunee. The library currently partners with the facilities by delivering library materials for their residents. The library featured a variety of art and craft projects that exposed participants to new skills such as floral arranging, painting, interior design, and cultivating an environment for backyard bird watching. Its objectives were to teach new skills, provide a sense of mastery and meaning, boost mood, inspire a sense of playfulness, increase socialization, and decrease boredom. The library hoped to trigger positive memories for participants. Library staff executed the classes and witnessed everything they hoped for come to fruition. Their evaluations showed a high approval for all the projects and they hope to keep implementing these type of projects in their community. The library thanks Nicolet Federated Library System for its support of this project. Library Director Carol Petrina said, "At our in-library sessions, we had many participants coming in with friends, so a fun social atmosphere was very evident and great to see." A thank you note from one participant read, “Thank you Ann and Pam for giving us a great time yesterday. I enjoyed the time and really like the door decoration I made with your help. See you again.”
