Showcase Hammond!

We are very excited to be a part of the upcoming Showcase Hammond Business & Community Open House!  This event is designed to bring local residents, businesses, non-profit organizations and groups together.  Although many of us have lived here for years, few of us realize all that Hammond has to offer.

Join us Saturday, March 20, from 10 am – 4 pm, at the St. Croix Central High School in Hammond.  Enjoy demonstrations and seminars, food, door prizes and fun, while learning about local businesses and organizations.  Admission is FREE!

If you are a local business or home-based business, group or organization, we would love to have you as a part of this exciting marketing opportunity.  The cost is $10 to cover advertising expenses.  Registration deadline is February 20, and forms are available at the Hammond Library.  If you would like to offer a demonstration or seminar, or would like to donate an item for a door prize drawing, please note that on the registration form.  Contact Michelle Johnson at the Library with any questions:  796-2281 or hammonpl@ifls.lib.wi.us.

Friends Gift Sale

The Friends of the Library is hosting a Holiday Gift Sale again this year at the library.  We are offering Chicken Noodle Soup Mix, Creole Seasoning Mix, Chili Mix, cute Hot Cocoa Packets (for just a buck!) and Tortilla Soup Mix – both with and without a Christmas mug!  These items make great gifts for teachers, daycare providers, coworkers, secret Santa recipients – anyone who could use a lift in their day.  They are going fast, so hurry in to get yours!

The Friends group is also offering an on-going Die Cut Sale at the front desk.  Browse the available die-cut shapes, and place your order by filling out the form and bringing your scrapbook paper in.  We will punch the shapes for you, at $.25 each.  What a great way to embellish your cards, scrapbook pages, school projects – anything you can think of!  Stop by the desk to see what we have available.  As always, all proceeds will be used to help out our Library!

We Want You – as a Friend!

Please join us for our next Friends of the Library meeting on Monday, October 12, at 6:30 at the Hammond Library.  This is an excellent time to join our group, if you have been considering doing so!  We will be discussing all our events for 2010 – dates, what events we are going to host, fundraising goals and more.  We need your feedback, ideas and talents, so please plan to be with us. 

If you cannot make the meeting, don’t hesitate to contact us with your thoughts.  We are happy to have you as a Friend, if only for one event per year.  If we spread the work among many Friends, it hardly seems like work.  Our events are really fun to “work” and the community truly enjoys being a part of them.  Join us in October to offer your ideas for the upcoming year!

New Friends

Are you looking for a way to get connected in your community?  Are you interested in volunteering in some way?  Check out the Hammond Friends of the Library group!  We are a group of local volunteers whose main purpose is to raise funds that will bring more programs and resources to the community and promote awareness of our library.  From the Spring Breakfast to the Hammond Heartland Days festivities, the Friends group is available to help out as needed. 

We are currently raising funds for two different goals.  First, we want to help the library by purchasing equipment or resources the library wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.  Second, we are saving funds for future building use – whether that is for remodeling the upper level of the library for year-round use, or for a new building in the future.

If you would like to be a part of our group, please join us for our next meeting.  We will be meeting at the library on Monday, April 13 at 7 pm.  We would be happy to have your ideas, time and talents on board! 

For more information, contact me at gtlarsen@baldwin-telecom.net or stop by the desk at the library.
