The Library will be closed from Friday, January 17 to Saturday, February 8. 

We are closing to refresh the main part of the Library a bit. We have already started with some red paint on the far wall, but will add a bit more color in the staff areas as well as above the glass case. We will also be getting new carpet, and moving the shelves around a bit. 

While we are closed, we will have a temporary space set up in the Lobby. This means that holds can still be picked up, printing can still be done, copies made, and faxes sent. We will also have a small browsable collection available. The temporary space will be open from Wednesday, January 22 to Wednesday, February 5 from 12-6p. We do also have the checkout lockers, so if those hours don’t work, please consider calling us to use those.  We ask that any books checked out before or during the closure are kept by you until we re-open. Completely understand if that is not possible, and items need to come back before then.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this exciting three week adventure. 

The River Valley Stitchers’ quilts are hung in the Community Room Gallery for their annual Country Christmas show. They can be viewed throughout December. The RV Stitchers continue to make quilts that are given out on Veteran's Day at the Meadows and Greenway Manor/Terrace. Eight were given this year along with five lap quilts. The first quilt presented was given by two residents of the Greenway Terrace who had helped make it. The Stitchers have a meeting on the fourth Friday of the month at 1 PM at the Spring Green Community Library. There are no meetings at the Library in December 2024 and January 2025. The RV Stitchers’ quilt show is available for viewing during regular library hours when the community room is not in use. Please ask for the key at the circulation desk. 

Lisa Humke’s “This World and Beyond” can be found in the Glass Case Gallery. About herself and her work, Lisa says, “I am a retired art teacher of 28 years. I earned my undergraduate degree at UW-Madison and my Masters from Field Graduate University. My work is a compilation of different materials. I collect a myriad of tiny treasures that most people would find seemingly insignificant. To me, they are rich in texture, color, and shape. They can be used as is to enhance the narrative of my story or they can be altered to fabricate a new relevance. The pieces I construct have threads that sometimes tie to my family, whimsical figures expressing emotions, or just playing with compositions and materials.” The collection in the exhibit, “This World and Beyond” is a series of assemblages that speak to the human conditions we all encounter. This World” relates to us as human and what we go through.The other selections, “And Beyond,” are abstract concepts of dreams, wishes and feelings manifested as guardians or spirits that embody those ideas. (Be sure to check out Lisa’s statement with the exhibit that explains each piece.) “The World and Beyond” can be viewed at any time during regular library hours.
