 With the Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS) continuing education funds (and a bit more help from the Friends of Shawano County Libraries, Inc.), Shawano County Library was able to send three of its staff members to the Association of Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, from September 14-17, 2022.
Those that attended were Paige Crawford, Cataloging Librarian; Cathy Pescinski, Teen Librarian; and Kristie Hauer, Director (shown from left to right).  Kewaunee Public Library held its Petting Zoo on August 11.
The library collaborated with its local FFA students, who brought their animals, and the FFA brought the pens. They featured area 4-H State Fair Champion rabbit hoppers, just back from showing at the State Fair. The library also collaborated with an area veterinarian clinic that has kittens available for adoption. The weather was beautiful this year and the library had an amazing turnout.
