 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!

S. Verna Fowler Academic Library/ Menominee Public Library grant purchase focuses on teen engagement7/11/2023  The S. Verna Fowler Academic Library/ Menominee Public Library purchased several items for a teen engagement project with the help of a Library Improvement and Innovation Grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System.
The library purchased a Nintendo Switch, games, and accessories, and launched a Tiny Art Show. The Switch was bought with the goal of engaging tweens and teens with video games in the Library during a game night or in conjunction with other programs. Interim Library Director Bethany Huse said "We had patrons play on the new Nintendo Switch and did not want to leave at the end of the program." Since the initial Tiny Art Show, the library has released more sets of art kits periodically with themes for each one. The library had some returns to create a tiny art show and patrons have come in right away each time it makes more kits. Huse said the library had all the kits taken within a week of putting them out, with patrons repeatedly asking about the next installment.  The Gillett Public Library recently purchased items for its new Makerspace table with the help of a Library Improvement and Innovation Grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System.
The library purchased magnetic tile kits, origami paper, a sketchpad, and a laptop for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) programming. There was a noted increase in the time patrons spent in the library. Parents also played with their kids using the makerspace.
