The Night the Library went Batty

Ken and Barb Bowman of the Bat Conservation of Wisconsin presented a fascinating program on the Bats of Wisconsin last night. Ken and Barb talked about the 11 species of bats that live in Wisconsin, what they eat, how they live, and what to look for in a bat house.

Special thanks to the Lakes Gallery of Fine Art for allowing us to hold this library program in the gallery.

Shoring Continues

The work on shoring up the east side of the library lot is continuing. Next on the schedule is completing the excavation of the basement, working on the footings, and then forming and pouring the basement walls.

Construction Resumes!

Construction has resumed on our library addition. Currently workers are shoring up the east side of the lot. 8 beams have to be drilled into the ground and then sheets of metal are placed between the beams to hold the soil back. After the shoring is complete, then excavation can resume.
