Last day to bid!
It's the LAST DAY to bid in our online auction. All bidding ends at 5:00 p.m. Wisconsin time on Friday, September 23. There are still some deals to be had and some great items that could be yours, and all proceeds will benefit the library. Be sure to check it out and get your bids in before 5pm!

I'd also like to congratulate the winners of our Book Baskets! Carrie B., Phil S., Mary W., Sue L., Grace B., Cheryl K., Patt M., and and Cynthia J. were the lucky names drawn from a record number of raffle entries. Congratulations to them, and thank you to everyone who bought tickets.

This is the last email you'll get from me about our Fall Celebration (whew!), so we'll get back to your regular library programming. Thanks again for all your support this year!

Indoor "Trunk or Treat" on October 31

Start making your plans to participate in the library's annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween!

This year's event will be held on Monday, October 31st at 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We'll be shutting down normal library activities early that day and will be inviting everyone INSIDE for this year's trick-or-treating and other Halloween activities. The library will provide a couple of simple activities, the Mercer Leos will provide food, and everyone is welcome.

Local organizations or individuals who would like to hand out Halloween candy or other fun things are invited to join us. We can provide a table or area in the library to decorate if you or your group would like to do that, or you can simply show up and hand out your treats. Costumes are encouraged!

Registration is not required, but it would be helpful to let us know you're coming so we can have enough space for everyone. Please call the library at 715-476-2366 or email the director to RSVP if you can.
Free art workshop at the Senior Center

The Mercer Senior Center will host a free craft workshop with artist Amy Burquest on Monday, October 10th at 10:00 a.m. Make a bouquet of beautiful paper sunflowers to enjoy this fall! The program will be held at the Mercer Senior Center on Margaret Street. All are welcome to this free program, and there's no need to register in advance. For more information, call Judy at 715-476-3511.

Does your organization have an educational event or workshop coming up soon? We'd be happy to share it with the community in this newsletter. Email director@mercerpubliclibrary.org with the details. (We can only share items from nonprofit or community organizations, and we try to focus on educational classes and workshops.)
