Iron Ridge Public Library

Closed for Easter Holidays

admin — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:26:08 +0000

The Iron Ridge Public Library will be closed on Friday, April 6th and Saturday, April 7th so that our employees can enjoy the Easter holidays with their families. Materials can be returned in our outdoor drops located on the west side of the Community Center, or you can return them to any other SHARE library. Materials can be renewed online or by calling the library at (920)-387-3637. We hope that you will have a safe and happy holiday!

Election Day Bake Sale

admin — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:19:29 +0000

The Iron Ridge Public Library will have a Bake Sale on Tuesday, April 3rd, Election Day, from 8 AM until we are sold out. We will be offering a wide variety of baked goods and coffee. Proceeds will go towards library programs and the purchasing of new materials such as books, movies, and CDs. We will also have the library open at 9 AM, so come vote, enjoy a treat, and then stop in at the library to get a library card, check out materials, use the computers, or just see what we have to offer!

New Director

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:11:21 +0000

As many of you already know, Iron Ridge recently hired a new director, Tiffany Brault. Tiffany is a recent graduate of Marian University of Fond du Lac, and she currently resides in Horicon. Tiffany is very excited to be working in Iron Ridge. She has enjoyed meeting many residents already, and hopes to meet many more in the future.

The library is now back to its regular hours. We are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM, Thursdays and Fridays from 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. We are closed Sundays and Mondays. If these times are not working for you, please let Tiffany know. If you cannot stop in, you can call the library at (920)-387-3637, send an email to ironridge@mwfls.org, or leave a comment here. We would be happy to try to adjust the library’s hours now that a new director is settling in, but we need your input!

December Library Hours

As many of you know, Amy will be leaving as library director. She is staying to help during the transition, but as she has already started her new job, we will not have staffing for all regular library hours until a replacement is hired.

There will be some temporary changes to library hours during the month of December. We will be closed Tuesday the 13th and open on Monday the 12th from 10-2 instead. There will be shortened hours on Friday the 16th (10-2) and extended hours on Thursday the 15th (11-7) and Saturday the 17th (10-3). Our regular weekly story hours and movie showings will move to Thursdays for the remainder of the month. Any further changes will be posted here and in the library.

We appreciate your patience during this transition and hope to have a new library director in place soon.

Food for Fines

admin — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:57:21 +0000

From now through the end of the month, drop off a donation of non-perishable food items at the library and we’ll forgive your fines. Donations will be given to the Tabitha’s Closet food pantry, right here in Iron Ridge. Help local families, and clear your library account!

Attention Scrapbookers

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:13:35 +0000

If you enjoy scrapbooking or card-making, or you’d like to learn, please join us at the library on Saturday, November 19. The event runs all day, and lunch will be provided, so come when you like and stay as long as you like. Share ideas with other scrapbookers, work on projects together, learn about new materials, and take part in a make-and-take at 6:30 pm. Registration is $25 per person, and all proceeds go to help support library programs. Please register by Nov. 12.

Library Hours Survey

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:46:53 +0000

We’re considering the possibility of adding morning hours on one day a week, probably Wednesdays, so that we could have a morning story hour, which several parents have requested. This would probably require closing the library on Saturdays to meet our budget. We want to hear your opinion on this! Please help us by filling out a survey while you’re at the library, or just leave us a comment here.

Snakes in the Library!

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:26:21 +0000

Snakes Alive will be at the library this coming Wednesday, July 27th, at 3:30. Come see and touch these scaly creatures and learn more about them and their habitats. All ages are invited.

Next Book Club Meeting

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:59:14 +0000

The book club will be taking the summer off, but to make up for it we’ll be discussing two books when we come back: The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, the first installment of Alexander McCall Smith’s popular series of cozy mysteries set in Botswana; and Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s memoir Infidel, about escaping her fundamentalist Islamic upbringing in northern Africa. Stop by the front desk to pick up a copy of either book, or both. The meeting will be Monday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 in the evening.

Summer Reading Program Starts June 15

admin — Mon, 30 May 2011 15:29:15 +0000

This year’s theme is ‘One World, Many Stories.’ We’ll have stories from around the world, tastes of local foods, and lots of fun activities!
