Welcome Back Blog Readers!

The New Year always stirs up increased activity at Greenfield Library and we hope to see you involved.  Below are a couple of programs we will be having in the near future.

 

Free Personal Finance Workshop at the Greenfield Library on Saturday, January 18

Making Sense of Your Personal Budget is a free workshop scheduled for Saturday, January 18, from 10:30 – Noon in the Greenfield Library Community Room.

 

It’s a new year and a great time to get your personal budget on track!  You will learn to recognize the difference between needs and wants, the importance of creating an emergency savings account, how to budget and save, as well as how to clean up your credit.  This program is co-sponsored by the Greenfield Library and the WWBIC (Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corp.). 

 

Registration is appreciated, but not required.  To register, stop by the Library Reference Desk, call Michelle at (414) 321-9595 X101 or email michelles@greenfieldwi.us

This month we will be discussing Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883, by Simon Winchester.  Registration is not required and all are welcome – even if you did not read the book, but enjoy historical discussion.  The History Book Club takes place from 7:00 – 8:00 PM in the Library Community Room.  You can request a copy of the book online at http://countycat.mcfls.org, by calling the Library at (414) 321-9595 X104, or by stopping at the Library Reference Desk.  Don’t forget to pick up a bookmark with all the titles and dates

Deep in the Stacks: A Look at the Holdings at Greenfield Public Library -

Amelia Earhart

On January 11, 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California.  She set many other aviation records, including the first female to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean, just one year after Charles Lindbergh’s “spirited” flight record in 1927.  Despite her pioneering flying records, perhaps Amelia Earhart is unfortunately most famous for her disappearance during a circumnavigation attempt in 1937.  Though never found, her resulting “death” has resulted in many conspiracy theories and has made her an endearing figure in aviation history.

Greenfield Public Library keeps her spirit alive with numerous holdings related to Amelia and her legacy.
