Library outlines November–December programs, holiday events and Friends fundraising
Summary
The Library Director detailed upcoming programs (Groove and Grow, LEGO Club, tech-addiction talk, edible haunted houses, 'Crafts and Cake'), holiday events including Christmas in the Dells, and Friends of the Library raffle fundraising that raises about $2,500 annually.
The Library Director reviewed programming planned for November and December and highlighted both recurring and special events.
She said Groove and Grow meets on Monday mornings, LEGO Club runs in November and February, and a tech-addiction presentation with Paige Thompson drew about eight attendees. The recent edible haunted-house sessions had roughly 35 children across sessions, the director said. Upcoming family programming includes "Crafts and Cake," holiday story time, and two movie showings on Nov. 26 (a Smurfs screening at 10 a.m. and How to Train Your Dragon at 1 p.m.).
The director also updated the board on the Friends of the Library fundraising: the group runs raffle baskets and sponsors snacks for Christmas in the Dells. She said the raffle typically raises about $2,500 per year and supports a larger parkland fundraising effort to create a small park adjacent to the library.
Board members and staff discussed coordination with Haven (a local youth partner) and how holiday timing affects program sign-ups and staffing.
