  • Face Mask Required in Library as of 9/1/2021

    Due to the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, the Library Board has elected to reinstitute the mask requirement as of Wednesday, September 1, 2021.  The Board made this change in policy to protect both Patrons and Staff.  We kindly ask for your cooperation.



     


  • Now that the older kids are back in school, here's a great program to prepare your little ones for their first day of school.
     

    Our "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" program encourages children from birth to early reader to listen to and/or read 1000 Books before they begin school.  When you sign your child up for this program, we provide you with sheets in 100-book increments to record the books read to them.  Each 100 books read earns your child a sticker for themselves and for our Library Chart.  At the 1000-book level, the children receive a certificate and a free book honoring their achievement.

    We hope that this program encourages our youngest readers to read 1000 books. Stop by the Library to sign up your young reader.  The East Troy Lions Public Library has a wonderful selection of preschool books to choose from that are perfect for this program.
