A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
Remember the Library this Year
As the year draws to a close and we busy ourselves with school, work, and the holidays, many of us also take time to remember the places and people that enrich our lives.
The Shorewood Public Library is such a place.
The library is a beautiful building that houses a collection of books, magazine, CDs, DVDs, and online resources. It is also a place to relax, study, do research, use computers, and attend programs. But none of this would be available without the people that make the library work: the librarians, staff, volunteers, and donors.
We hope you will consider making a donation to the Friends of the Shorewood Library this year to help support the library's programs and collections. All donations are appreciated - from a simple Friends membership donation of any size, to gifts in honor or in memory of a loved one. Read the story of how one library lover's family and friends remembered her in just such a way in the
Friends blog post this month.
Make a donation at this link or by downloading the Friends brochure here:
And remember the library as a resource and place to go this holiday season.

Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood
Emily recommends this latest in the Hogarth Shakespeare series. Shakespeare fans will delight in Atwood's version of The Tempest: The island is a prison in Ontario, and Prospero is an aging former theater director who brings the bard to the prisoners and revenge to those who deserve it. A fun read.

Rachel recommends this 15th book in the Cork O'Connor series. Krueger litters this fast-paced mystery with Ojibwe words and culture, vivid descriptions of the Boundary Waters wilderness area on foot and by canoe and updates us on all the characters in Cork's life that we've grown to care for over the previous books in the series.
