The Quiet Librarian articles in The Wabasha Herald

Category: News at The Wabasha Library | Comments Off

     Hello and welcome to an occasional article with news about public libraries and what is happening at the Wabasha Public Library posted here and also found in The Wabasha Herald newspaper. The “Quiet Librarian” title is to humor the stereotype. The news at the library is not a quiet affair! To start, I am inviting everyone to have some fun this winter with an adult reading contest. It is part of our Hot Reads For Cold Nights. See the tab at the top of this page for more information – Michele McCaughtry, Director
