Want to Learn the Art of Altered Books?

Join instructor Lisa Califf as she shows you how to make your very own Altered Book!  The class will be held each Thursday for four consecutive weeks, September 22-October 13 at 6-8 pm at the Library.

What is an Altered Book, you ask? It is a book that has been made into something new – a piece of art, a photo scrapbook, a hiding place for treasures – the options are endless!

The cost is $10 and supplies are included. However, you are welcome to bring your own photos and/or embellishments if you have a particular theme in mind for your book.

Please register in advance at the Library or by calling 715-796-2281.

Wanted: Volunteers to Help with Movie Nights

This is a really fun event held every month for our families. 

Responsibilities include setting up, making popcorn and lemonade, selling concessions and cleaning up after the movie. 

We have many opportunities to volunteer your time for this event.  We are still looking for help on September 23 from 6-9 pm.  We have a Halloween movie series coming up in October, with 2 movies being shown every Friday night; we will need LOTS of helpers to make this happen.

This is one of our regular fundraisers to benefit your Library.  With the possiblity of a new and improved building on the horizon, we need all the help we can get in our fundraising efforts.

If you could give a few hours of your time to support this effort, it would be much appreciated.  Your children are welcome to accompany you to the movie, as well!  Please sign up for your desired date at the Library front desk, or contact us a mjohnson@hammondpubliclibrary.org or 715-796-2281.  Thanks!
