Spring Green, Plain, and Lone Rock Library Notes
Spring Green
By Emily Whitmore, Library Director
Quick reminder: From March 13 to April 24, the Spring Green Community Library will have shortened hours on Friday. We will be open from 10-2. We will also be closed on Tuesday, April 14th for staff training.
The Spring Green Letter Writing Society is thrilled to invite the community to a special gathering on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 10:00 am to noon at the Spring Green Community Library.
In an era where technology reigns supreme, a “rebirth” of letter writing is taking hold at the Library. This event offers a much-needed “digital detox,” allowing participants to step away from screens and engage in a more meditative, reflective process. Whether you are a seasoned scribe or haven’t picked up a pen in years, this gathering is the perfect opportunity to experience the unique charm of letter writing.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite stationery or use the materials provided to write a thank-you note, a “thinking of you” card, or even a letter to a stranger. The society will also provide a selection of high-quality stationery and pens that feel comfortable in your hand, helping to make the writing experience as enjoyable as possible. Whether you are looking to create a simple note or want to experiment with “mail art,” we will have the tools ready to help you connect to your friends and family.
Join us to experience how a simple handwritten message can impact someone’s life—and your own.
The library is open Monday through Thursdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
