 Quadzilla Finds His Footing - written by AJ Dillon and Illustrated by Summer Morrison
​UScellular also donated 350 copies of AJ Dillon's book Quadzilla Finds His Footing, which came with a personalized note from Dillon. The trick was getting these books distributed to libraries throughout Wisconsin - and Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS) was happy to help out.
​​When UScellular's sports marketing agency asked about also hosting virtual book readings with Dillon in conjunction with the donations, NFLS' Director Tracy Vreeke connected them with Brown County Library's director, Sarah Sugden. "She is dynamic and a huge literacy supporter in the Green Bay area," Tracy noted.
Brown County Library's March 1 Facebook post, said "In Green Bay, football and books go together like peanut butter and jelly! Not only is AJ Dillon a professional football player, he's also an author, and a supporter of libraries and young readers! We are so grateful to AJ Dillon and UScellular for making this virtual reading happen. Bonus: AJ Dillon answers a few questions from Librarian Katie Guzek after he reads his book."
The virtual reading, which was hosted by the Friends of the Brown County Library on Zoom, is available on their Facebook page (and is also shown below):

​"Organizations like the Green Bay Packers and players like AJ Dillon give so much back to our state, and when they choose a cause that encourages literacy, it makes all of us in Library Land smile," said Vreeke. Here are the headlines from the February 23, 2024 📢 Nic News Weekly:
