We sure hope to see you as part of our reading program, ALL TOGETHER NOW!

Also, this video showcases another artistic endeavor of Carlos. It is fun to listen to his philosophy!

For literacy evening up at Rock Ledge in March, Colette created a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE story for families to take home and play.

It has in excess of 42 different endings! Here it is if you would like your very own copy.

Enjoy! 

The September, 2023 BookPage is available at your library for free. Thanks to Friends of the Muehl Public Library (FMPL) for purchasing this for our patrons every month. It is a tremendous resource!

Thanks to Lamont Kraft who gifted the library with a bird poster. Lamont is a talented photographer. All the birds on the poster are photographs that he has taken. At our library, we love to showcase the talents of our patrons, neighbors, and community members. Thank you, Lamont for the opportunity and your generosity!

Coming out of COVID, our library applied for a $5000 grant from the Wisconsin Humanities in mid-October of 2021. We asked for the funding to keep our library fully staffed during this year, 2022. In mid-November of 2021 we received the news that the grant was approved. This was and is such a gift. It shows that the Wisconsin Humanities recognizes the important learning opportunities that libraries provide. All we can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wisconsin Humanities are celebrating their 50th anniversary. Congratulations!

Thank you so much to the Seymour Firefighters who annually give substantial financial support to the summer reading program at the Muehl Public Library. The 2022 reading theme is OCEANS OF POSSIBILITIES.

In this photo, Brian Treml is presenting Elizabeth (library director) with this summer’s check but distancing because Elizabeth has Covid.

To the right of Elizabeth is Tammy Nachtwey, instructor for the Community Family Resource Center. Tammy and Elizabeth led PACE (Parent and Children Enrichment) summer sessions at the library. It was a wonderful collaboration!

To the far right is Kristen Diermeier. She is an educator and serves on the Library Board of Trustees. She is with her therapy dog Luna. Kristen has been doing pop-up visits at the library this summer during which she introduces Luna to patrons. This has also been a very successful and satisfying venture for the library and its patrons.

So the gift from the firefighters keeps giving and giving as we work on strengthening our community! We love building alliances with fellow educators who are committed to excellence in Seymour.

*Thanks to Cindy Borgen for taking the picture.

Thank you in summer, 2023 for reading theme of ALL TOGETHER NOW. No Covid this time! Brian is giving the check to Elizabeth in the picture book area after a story time. The generous donation goes to book prizes for all the summer reading participants. Look at the wealth of choices that we are able to offer! Big thanks to the Firefighters for making a difference in our community!

We were going to have this title for September, 2020 and then we were going to have this title for September, 2021. Here is a review because we are moving onto new titles beginning September, 2022.

Huge thanks go to the creative talents of Colette Bezio and Cindy Borgen!
