Meet Eliza, the new Library Manager of the Oneida Community Library and the Green Earth Branch Library.

"She∙kú! My name is Eliza Skenandore and my Oneida name is Yutyátashnolats. I have an associate degree in IT-Information Technology Multimedia from ITT-Tech and also in Humanities from UWGB. I have my BA from UWGB in First Nation Studies with a minor in Human Development. I have also studied Library Services at UW-Madison in their master’s program and iSchool.

Before coming to the Oneida Libraries, I worked at the NWTC Library as their Lead Library Lab Technician. I also did Wisconsin certified childcare in my home and used Oneida culture teachings in our lessons. I worked for the Oneida Nation as their Historical Multimedia Specialist for nine years. Before that, I worked at the Oneida Nation Museum and Oneida Gaming Time and Attendance.
​

I’m excited to be working at the Oneida Libraries. I enjoy helping others and seeing them succeed! In my free time I love to create beadwork and a fan of E-sports and playing video games.”

Welcome to the NFLS member libraries team, Eliza!

Gillett Public Library received a $600 grant from the Rural Technology Fund (RTF).

The Fund provides technology education resources, scholarships, and assistive technology devices to rural students. Their mission also includes supporting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) extracurricular programs. The RTF supports rural communities that may have fewer opportunities for exposure to technology and funds projects in public schools and libraries.

Gillett Public Library Director Shannon Stoner said the library will utilize the funds to support the library’s “Full STEAM Ahead” program for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

The program takes place at the Gillett Public Library on the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Gillett Library Community Center from 4 to 5 p.m. For more information, please visit gilpubliclibrary.org or call 920-855-6224.

Gillett Library Reading Nook Built With Love

1/9/2023

Guest post by Shannon Nichola Stoner, Gillett Public Library Director
Aubree Couillard enjoys the medieval artwork in the Early Reading Room at Gillett Public Library. Thanks to a new donation from Gillett High School students, other readers can share her love of the era of lords and ladies with a new castle reading nook inspired by Aubree’s love of castles. Creating the new reading space was a community effort. Meunier’s True Value in Gillett donated paint for the project.

​Gillett Public Library Director Shannon Stoner approached Gillett Middle-High School Tech-Ed teacher Preston Zimmerman with the concept of making a reading nook for Couillard, who loves reading. Stoner approached Aubree’s mother, Laurie, and proposed the project to see the reading nook placed in her home. The Couillard family decided to keep the nook at the library for other kids to enjoy. “Shannon, this is overwhelming to me,” Laurie replied. “I hope others truly enjoy this special place at the library.”
