Glenwood City Area Library News – 8-23-2023
The Library is going to be busy in September. We will be having two major events; Wisconsin Author Sue Berg will be coming on September 14 and the Friends of the Library will be hosting a free will donation Spaghetti Dinner on September 21st. We hope to see you there.
The Library needs two people who love and support the library to be on the Library Trustee Board. The two seats that are open are for residents who live inside the City limits. What does a trustee do? The General Function of the Library Trustee Board is to, “Participate as a member of a team (the library board) to protect and advance the interests of the broader community by effectively governing the operations and promoting the development of the local public library.” (2020 Trustee Essentials). If interested please stop at the library and ask Rochel for an application or give her call at 715-265-7443.
