One of our greatest joys at WiLS is hearing our members tell the stories of the big and important work they are doing – interesting new projects or initiatives, or even interesting and new approaches to old projects. And, in addition to hearing about it, it makes us even happier when we can share those stories with other members. Each month, WiLS is proud to feature an interview with one of our library members. This month, we interview Jennifer Peterson, Library Media Supervisor at the Menasha Joint School District and one of WiLS’ Board Members representing K12 libraries. Read more

Are you planning for, or in the process of, updating your library space? Are you moving into a new space or renovating your library? Learn more and connect with colleagues who are on the same path!
WiLS, in conjunction with the McIntosh Memorial Library in Viroqua, the Soldiers Grove Public Library, and Engberg Anderson, invite you attend a single-day workshop to learn about the process of building or renovating library spaces. We’ll tour both libraries, share our stories and experiences, and hear from architects about the design, planning, and construction processes.
When: Tuesday, April 7th, at 9:00am
Where: We’ll meet at the Rooted Spoon in Viroqua, and travel to Soldiers Grove for the afternoon. Transportation between the two locations is not provided. Please indicate on the registration form if you’re interested in carpooling and we’ll try to connect to others looking for a driving buddy.
Cost: $40 (breakfast and lunch are included)
Space is limited, so don’t wait to register!
