We have an excellent library system! We use it all the time.  What a blessing!  Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your appreciation!  The Sun Prairie Public Library is part of the South Central Library System and the library is one of the area leaders in library services.  I am very proud to be part of the organization.  We certainly couldn’t do what we do without the fantastic staff we have.  The level of courteous service and professionalism is superb!

 

A few suggestions for books came in this month.  The suggestions were forwarded to the appropriate selectors.  Feel free to also check in with a librarian.  Often recommendations are available at our library, currently checked out and available at another location, or on order, but we can always look into it.  Thank you for your recommendations.

Note from Library Director

Many of you that are reading this knew Pearl Mosier for much longer than I but I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to work with her.  It was an honor to know her and I have been so impressed by her wonderful family.  She loved and cared for her library and community so deeply and I will miss her.

The Food for Fines program is great but you should consider dental items.

Thank you for your suggestion.  Dental items such as toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash are certainly on the list of items that can be included.   We are happy to be part of this community service, a win-win for all.   Thank you for thinking of it too!

I think you should have an art contest for all ages.

We recently had a crazy crafts contest for all ages and I hope you were able to attend.  We have some of the creative works displayed around the library.  The library also frequently exhibits artwork from various organizations throughout the community, including the Sun Prairie School District.  Because of space, we have to spread these art exhibits throughout the year so be on the lookout!

I think that the library needs a cat!

We have many animal lovers among our staff and patrons.  However, due to the time and resources it takes to care for a cat, we aren’t able to accommodate pets such as cats.  We are lucky to have the support of our Friends of the Sun Prairie Public Library who maintain our aquarium in the Youth Services Section.  The aquarium draws a lot of attention and we couldn’t do it without the support of our Friends.  Thanks for your suggestion – we’ll put it on a wishlist!
