Tax Time

Don’t forget that the library has tax forms available. Forms, including some instruction booklets, are available on the first floor of the library across from the Help Desk. All paper forms are free; however if you need us to print forms for you, you will have to pay standard printing costs.

Team Trivia 2012 winners

Dollar Design Contest for kids

Canada’s paper money comes in five different colors. The Euro is likewise a rainbow. Put the U.S. dollar up against other countries’ currencies, and it seems a bit drab.

Home Front by Kristin Hannah

Another amazing novel by Kristin Hannah! I didn't think she could top Night Road, but she certainly did with this one. I could not put the book down and have been raving about it to my coworkers for days. Jolene Zarkades is a wife and mother of two young daughters and.....a Black Hawk Pilot with the National Guard. Her husband, Michael, is a workaholic defense attorney who puts in long hours and is losing touch with his family. With their marriage of 12 years on shaky ground, the unthinkable happens; Jolene is deployed to Iraq.

One Hundred and One Nights by Benjamin Buchholz

I am very excited about the recently published novel One Hundred and One Nights by former Brandon resident Benjamin Buchholz. This is his first novel, although he already has published a book of poems and is the author of Private Soldiers, which tells of his deployment in Iraq with the Wisconsin National Guard.

De-clutter your way to a better world

It can be hard to toss a stack of papers you just might need or that snappy jacket waiting to come back in style. But clutter is the nemesis of the devoted spring cleaner.

Time to get organized. At 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 27, the Fond du Lac Public Library is offering, “Organizing Your Home, Mind and Spirit Through De-cluttering.”

Dial M for March at The BookCellar

It’s mad! The BookCellar’s Dial M for March sale March 10 through March 17 is offering hardcover books by authors whose last name begins with M for just 50 cents.

City Council candidates' forum March 15

Six candidates are vying for four open City Council seats in the April 3 municipal election. The Fond du Lac Public Library, in cooperation with local media, will hold a candidates’ forum at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 15.

The candidates will face questions from a panel of local journalists in a session moderated by Marty Ryan, former councilman and council president. The candidates also will address their backgrounds, qualifications, personal histories and reasons for seeking local office.

Sandra Kring and Her Bright Ideas

Wisconsin author Sandra Kring’s new book A Life of Bright Ideas has just been published. It is a sequel to The Book of Bright Ideas with many of the same characters. Kring writes about small town life, family, and friendship in a down-to-earth, humorous, conversational tone. It is best to start with Book of Bright Ideas to understand the characters and so that the ending from the first book is not spoiled.

2 artists, 6 legs, 1 great show

Artists are a rare breed. Some even are not human. The March show at the Fond du Lac Public Library Langdon Divers Gallery is a case in point.
