​We are helping our tail wagging and feathered friends at Door County Humane Society by gathering pet supplies between June 20th and July 2nd. They are in need of unopened (sealed) bags of dog/ cat food, canned dog/ cat food, peanut butter, potty training pads, non-retractable leashes, dog toys, cleaning supplies (liquid hand/dish soap, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes), plus more! To see a complete list of items needed see their website - https://www.wihumane.org/donate/wish-list.

This week our Children's Librarian, Diana Vlies, and our Young Adult Librarian, Braelyn Dempsey, were invited, again, to speak with the wonderful Bob Gray on "Your City, Your County". 

Check out the video as they talk about the Summer Reading Program, what the library has to offer, and how you can take part in it all. 

Join us on Thursday, June 9th at 1 pm in the Council Chambers ​(you can come in by the library) as staff members from the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc for a presentation on Wisconsin's Underwater Treasures. This presentation will be featuring stories of Lake Michigan's most famous shipwrecks, how shipwrecks are explored, and the area's new National Marine Sanctuary.

Starting March 1st, in honor of Youth Arts Month and in partnership with ArtBeet,Inc., children and families are invited to pick up a Kids Quilt Project Kit at the Algoma Public Library.

Kits will contain materials to make a paper version of a quilt block, information about quilting and it's history, and more...

Once the blocks are complete, they can be brought back to the Algoma Public Library for display.

Stop in at the Library throughout the month of March to watch our quilt grow!

Available starting Thursday, February 24th at 10 AM, Teens can stop by the Algoma Public Library to pick up a kit with the supplies to make their very own infinity cube (a popular fidget toy). Limited supplies available. ​

It's not every day that a date that reads 2/22/2022 falls on a TUESDAY. To celebrate the day, the Algoma Public Library will have snacks, activities, and a photo-op area set up all day. Stop by the Algoma Public Library to make fun memories on this historic day. ​

We want to create another Community Art Project!  Stop in to pick up your puzzle piece to make into your own piece of art. Paint (acrylic, oil, watercolor...), collage, use mixed media, 2D, 3D, or whatever you'd like on your piece. When we have them all collected, we will mount them and display our Community Art in the library for all to see.

Check out our Community Art Project from last year which is hanging in our program room for inspiration. 

Kits available to pick up via Sign Up beginning January 3rd so we can keep track of who has a piece.

​Pieces due back by February 7.
