thumbnail Cemeteries

November 21, 2023

I have always loved cemeteries. As a child, I studied the gravestones in the cemetery surrounding our church to learn as much as I could about the lives of the people who came before me. In college, I sought out a cemetery near my school as it was a quiet place to study on warm days. For a break, I often wandered around admiring the sculptures that adorned the graves. To this day, whenever I travel to a new place, I always try to include a cemetery or two on my itinerary.

November 13, 2023

Did you know that the week of November 20-26 is National Game and Puzzle Week? Well, it is! Many folks have been pleasantly surprised, when they have wandered into the adult wing near the reference desk and seen our assortment of games and puzzles. Some having wandered further toward the north end of the adult wing to see an even larger selection of puzzles on the lower lying shelves. We keep a puzzle to be worked on collectively in the north end of the Adult wing, as well. All of the puzzles and games are available to be checked out. Board games are available for check out for one week. Fortunately, for those who check out a 1500- piece puzzle, check out is 3 weeks. Both can be renewed up to 2 times.

Reference Assistant

I am so pleased to be a part of the reference team here at the Whitefish Bay Public Library. My family moved to Bay about two years ago and we love this community. Riding my bike, watching tennis, and spending time in the Wisconsin Northwoods with family are my favorite pastimes. I have an M.S. in Health Promotion with a background as a health educator and training specialist. Non-fiction books focusing on health, cooking, art, and interior design are my favorite. I like all kinds of fiction both new, but especially old. Come by Adult Services and it’ll be my pleasure to help.

About Whitefish Bay Public Library

A library that is just about lending books seems so last century, doesn’t it?

That’s our philosophy at the Whitefish Bay Public Library, anyway. We believe that everything that we do, we do to make a difference in someone’s life. Creating connections. Building community. Collecting stories. Sure, we have books, but we’re SO much more.
