Director's News Flash! 12/12/11
Weiss Community Library Unable to Add More Book Clubs
- The fact that the number of book clubs in our area continues to grow makes the Weiss Community Library staff and me very proud. This is proof that, despite the supposed decline in reading, our Northwoods communities still appreciate the value of the written and spoken word.
- Our library currently orders and processes items for 14 book clubs year-round and six more during summer. The number of staff who may leave the check out desk to complete other tasks is limited. Also, as the assistant director is on leave for two-three months, we are stretched even thinner and simply unable to add more book clubs to our roster right now.
- I delayed this news flash for a long time, as the library's mission is to promote education, information and lifelong learning. However, like everyone else, we must meet these objectives within the confines of our funding and budget. One suggestion for people living in nearby towns with libraries is to talk with the library director. Most area libraries, e.g., Drummond, Cable and Winter, are part of the same library system and are able to order the books for you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Molly Lank-Jones, Director
Welcome!
This wiki was created as an
online meeting place for local book clubs to assist them with book requests placed through the Weiss Community Library with book club group coordination. Please note: The library doesn't run any book clubs, we just order and process the books. Reminder: If items are not picked up within seven (7) days, the system clears them automatically and they are sent on to the next patron or back to the owning library.
Thank you for your visit and your support!
