Spring Green, Plain, and Lone Rock Library Notes
Spring Green
By Emily Whitmore, Library Director
August is here! What a summer! We have been so busy at the Library keeping everyone in books and busy. But our Summer Reading Program is wrapping up on August 14 with a grand finale starting at 10:30a. And there will probably be a surprise or two to be had.
If anyone still has some Library Loot, they can use that to buy prizes until August 22. As I type this, we still have some pretty cool items.
After this, then Kate and all Library staff will enjoy a short programming break before we launch right into Fall and Winter! Which I am personally looking forward to.
As a quick preview for adults, I have two more craft programs, a biology professor coming to talk about large cats, and a class about sleep that was put together and provided through the UW Extension office.
I know August is the universal vacation month, so I hope everyone has safe and fantastic trips!
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.

This year we are staying open later on Friday; rather than ending the day at 3 pm, we’ll be open until 7pm. Our hope is that the extended hours give everyone a little more flexibility to be able to stop in and grab a pie, some books and/or puzzles. Pies can be purchased for $13 each. There will be books and DVDs available to purchase for $5 a bag, and jigsaw puzzles will be $3 each or 2/$5.
We would greatly appreciate any and all pie donations. Pies can be dropped off at the library on Thursday, October 23 during library hours (10 am-6 pm) or on Friday, October 24 from 8-10 am. Please note that this year, we would like to have all pies in hand by 10 am on Friday, which is a little different from years past. Anyone interested in donating pies can sign up through the Sign-Up Genius email reminders or by using the sign-up sheet that will be at the library’s Information Desk.
We continue to take book, DVD or jigsaw puzzle donations. They can be dropped off at the library during any normal business hours. Please note the donation guidelines: no manuals, almanacs, encyclopedias or items published before the year 2000. All donations are greatly appreciated!
