  • Community-Led Library Programming

    What is community-led library programming? In short, it's where staff listen to the community they're serving and develop programming (classes, events or services) around what they are hearing.

    So, what does community-led library programming look like? We're glad you asked. Here at APL, we have a great example of community-led library programming and it's called Refugee and Immigrant Services and Education - RISE for short.

  • Library Board Meeting - August 2017

    The Appleton Public Library Board of Trustees met Tuesday, August 15. As noted on the agenda, Director Rortvedt provided an update on the library building process.

    Director Rortvedt explained that she brought the approved memo, with regard to recommendations for moving forward with a mixed-use RFP for the library (see 7/18/17 library minutes, Action Item 5D), to the City of Appleton Finance Committee for discussion and questions.

    In the coming weeks, Director Rortvedt and city staff will continue to work on defining how an RFP for a mixed-use library could look.
