On Thursday May 28, our library hosted Mary Logue, a local Wisconsin author. Mary has not visited our neck-of-the-woods before, so it was nice she could come and experience a real small-town public library.
Since the weather finally cleared off this morning and everything dried out from yesterday's rain, I decided we should have our speaker program outside in the park next to the municipal building. The outdoor setting is perfect for us since our library is very small. We had about 16 people that attended tonight. The temperature is perfect tonight, and it's still too early in the summer for bugs!
The Colfax Book Club helped sponsor the program tonight, which is really nice. In past years I did not have anyone to help me set up for speaker programs so by the end of the night I was always tired and cranky (oops.... yes, librarians do get cranky and sometimes sleepy by the end of the day or night).Thanks to all the book club members for coming tonight, and a big thank you to the members who baked treats for our program. How special is that?
To read more about Mary Logue go to her webpage and read her bio. If any other public library is interested in booking Mary, her contact information is on her webpage. I can't say enough good things about Mary...she is a delight to meet.
