Recent Staff Picks for Adults, Teens, and Kids.

  • Don't toss 'em, clip 'em!

    We are collecting box tops from the Box Tops for Education program, labels from the Labels for Education program and soda bottle caps and packaging for Coke products from the My Coke Rewards program.

    Anyone is welcome to donate eligible items, which will be used for our summer reading program; whereby students who read during the summer will receive entries to win all of the box tops, labels or Coke packaging for their school.

    To donate, simply bring your box tops, labels or Coke packaging to the library. There is a fish tank located near the entrance to Children's Services where you can drop off your donations. If you have questions about the program, please see a staff member at any of our service desks. Thank you for donating and helping our local schools!

  • Register for the 2015 Iditaread

    It's time to register for our March reading program the Iditaread - based on the annual Alaskan Race, the Iditarod. Children ages 3 through 6th grade are welcome to participate in challenges between March 1 – 31 for an entry in a drawing for a stuffed husky!  The first 100 children to reach the halfway point and visit the library to tell the librarian about their favorite book will receive a small bag of golden incentive prizes. Our Iditaread Registration Page will get you signed up and allow you to print a reading log. You must be registered in order to collect any incentive prizes. Contact Ellen at ejepson@apl.org or 920-832-6020 with any questions.

    We will be closed Thursday, March 5 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for our annual staff training session.

  • Help for the Homeless

    We are collecting new hygiene and cleaning items for local homeless shelters and crisis agencies through 91.9/91.5 The Family’s annual Help for the Homeless hygiene drive, February 22 to March 15. Please place your donations in the collection box located near the front entrance of the library by March 15.

    Supplying these items to the shelters will help them direct their limited resources to providing qualified staff, counseling, food and shelter to those they serve. The most requested items include laundry detergent, garbage bags, dental and hair care items, diapers and baby care and tissue. Your donations will remain in this community. For more information visit the Help for the Homeless web page or call 800-236-9364.

  • Wisconsin Digital Library Input

    The Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC) seeks your valued feedback on the collection of materials in Wisconsin's Digital Library. Your input will help guide us as we continue to grow and develop the collection of ebooks, audiobooks, streaming video, music, and other digital materials so it is most relevant to Wisconsin library patrons.

    The survey will take an average of 10 minutes to complete, and we thank you in advance for your time and feedback.
