POP-UP LIBRARY!
August 14, 1 pm - 3 pm - Lawler Park
We are terribly disappointed that our Bus-eum visit could not happen, and have been trying to come up with something we could do instead. Back in April, we had to cancel a program on the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage, which we were co-hosting with the Villa Louis. For tomorrow, the Villa has loaned us the posters, and we will put together a display of books and information. We hope to have technology to issue library cards and check out library materials - we'd love to see you there for face-to-face conversations!

- Reserve materials by phone, Facebook message, or online (phone# 608-326-6211) Leave a message if we do not answer - there are times we simply cannot get to the phone in time. At least one of us is generally there 9 am to 5 pm, but schedules can change abruptly.
- Reserve a time slot - they will be in 10-minute increments to ensure social distancing. If you have reserved online, we will call you and let you know when your materials are available, and to set a time.
- Staff will put materials outside the door at the appropriate time for you to pick up.
- You may not just show up at the door without a reservation - only one staff member is allowed to handle the bags, so we need to operate in a very organized manner.
Give the gift of a brick Everyone needs something to throw at the TV... Seriously, The Friends of the Prairie du Chien Memorial Library are helping raise the remainder of the funds needed to pay for the Library construction by selling these personalized bricks which will be installed along the sidewalks in front of the Library. You can have up to three lines of personalization - dedicate a brick in memory of someone, or to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or Christmas. You can pick up a brochure with an order form at the Library, or order online: www.thatsmybrick.com/pdclibrary
