Library News

Keeping you up-to-date on what's happening at your library. We invite you to join in the conversation!
DECEMBER 14, 2009
It's that snowy time of the year and volunteers!

As I write this, I am looking outside the Library window and it is snowing again!  White has blanketed almost everything outside.  Snow has a way of cleaning everything up and making it look brand new.   

Winter weather causes all of us to change our patterns of life.  It revitalizes us but keeps us on the edge as we cope with winter drives, changes in schedules and lost time from closings.  Last Wednesday, winter caused the Library to be closed.  Normal activities were stopped and special events cancelled.  The Library Board meeting was cancelled as was the Volunteer reception.  Neither one has been rescheduled at this time.  I would, however like to say something about volunteers at the Brillion Library.

Volunteers are an important part of our library operations.  The Library Board is a group of 8 individuals who volunteer their time to set policy and make sure the library is running smooth.  These volunteers plan for the library's future.  Whether it is in the setting of a budget, the approving of a long range or technology plan, or in making sure that the library has a director to run the day to day operations of the library.  The Library's current board consists of : Marilyn Schuh, Mark Murphy, Tammy Fischer, Nick Madison,Mary Maciejewski, Wendy Diel, Linda Deiter, and Betty Nies.

Another body of volunteers who serve the Brillion Library are its Friends.  This group not only provides help with programs, they also fundraise and sponor library programs and events.  The Friends have adopted and are caring for the corner flower bed.  They have added the Library sign, and bench to the front of the library.  They sponsored an author visit this year.  Our Friends are led by Lorraine Emmer, Monica Schmidt and Trudy Stanley.

The Library also has volunteers who help with a variety of tasks around the library.  Carolyn Bladow has been watering and tending the library's indoor plants for a number of years.  Faith and Dahle Enneper have been delivering materials to the Library's housing units.  Jane Kopidlansky and Julaine Hutl have been caring for Mel's Garden, which was created by Jane and a group of volunteers.  Mona Cox helps the library with translation services.

The Library's summer program had a great volunteer effort. Dorene Schuster, Pat Filzen, Jennifer Kolberg from the Brillion Nature Center, Chris Havel, Heather Ponschock, and Billy Hussey all provided programming at the Library this past summer. 

The Battle of the Books program had 3 volunteer coaches and a team of student volunteers who spent many hours reading and preparing for the Battle.  Volunteer coaches were:  Kathy Potthast, Carol Hauser, and Cheryl Glaeser.  Team members were Rebecca Phipps, Jessica Jones, Katelyn Fuhrmann, and Katherine Hopman.

Currently a group of students from Mr. Hanson's class have been coming into the library and volunteering their time and talents at the library.  Volunteers make a difference in the life of the library.  We truly appreciate everything that our volunteers do for the library expecially in the cold, snowy winter month..  Thank you so much!
