On Thursday, June the 6th, the library offered two Public Input Sessions, one in the Town of Cable, one in the Town of Namakagon. As a joint library of the two communities, it felt that it was important that each community was given an opportunity to review our preliminary plans. Devin Flanigan, our Keller Builds…
On June 20th at 6:30, the library, in another partnership event with Redbery Books, is pleased to welcome Wisconsin writer Jim Guhl. Guhl grew up in the Fox Valley and currently lives in Hudson, WI.

An engaged group enjoyed our event with Nickolas Butler at the Cable Community Center on Thursday, 5/30. Butler read the first chapter of his most recent title, LITTLE FAITH, and entertained questions from the audience on this book, it’s character and environs, on his working methods and on what he’s working on next. (sounds mad!…
Hard not to notice that there’s big works going on in our yard! Well, our back door doesn’t look like THIS anymore…and is, in fact, currently open for biz and connected to a set of walkways that connect library and museum. While the yard is SOMEwhat accessible, we encourage caution, as work is ongoing! Still…

I occasionally indulge in what I refer to as “snack food reading”…pure entertainment, pure fun. Now, snacks can be things like Cheetos or Twinkies…or they can be more like a slice of fine Wisconsin cheese on a quality cracker. The latter is preferred! (not that I’m above eating a bag of Cheetos now and again!)…
We welcome Zach Larson to our staff…and here is his first Staff Pick! “Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith” by Jon Krakauer is a fascinating account of the Fundamentalist Mormon (FLDS) church led by Warren Jeffs. At the time this book was published (2003), Jeffs and his polygamous cult were thriving…
April is National Poetry Month! We celebrate poetry! In past years we’ve offered poetry readings or opportunities to craft “black-out poetry”…using pages from recycled books and “finding” a poem on the page and blacking out the rest of the words.
