NOVEMBER 2023

Connecting educators to Oshkosh Public Library's resources and services.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to thank you for the gifts you bring to the classroom every day. We can still recall when our own teachers gathered us on the classroom carpet and read stories aloud, making us wish for just one more chapter.

Those magical moments of connection have stayed with us, and we know they’re a big part of what you do to kindle the spark of curiosity that lives in all of us. Thank you for being the steadfast keepers of the flame.

Happy Thanksgiving!
