​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):
Brown County Library and the Green Bay Packers are part of the NFLS service area of northeast Wisconsin. This also includes Door County, where AJ Dillon was given the Key to the County in November 2021. Coach LaFleur now calls him the Mayor!

The Florence County Library recently acquired an interactive Kidzpace Touch2Play Wall system for young visitors to use during the library's Tot Times, after school programs, and every day they are in the library.
Designed for children between ages 2-8, the system's 50-inch screen is mounted to a wall and allows for an interactive experience that promotes fun and learning for groups or children and parents. It's loaded with educational interactive activities, can be used with multiple patrons at the same time, and can also be used to show educational videos for kids. Library Director Stephanie Weber said, "Parents and kids of all ages are amazed by the educational activities and high definition of the Kidzpace!" The Kidzpace Touch2Play Wall system was purchased with a 2023 Improvement and Innovation (I&I) Grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS). I&I grant funds are used in the areas of Workforce & Economic Development, Information Technology, and/or Reading Proficiency & Lifelong Learning. |
