Wabasha Public Library

Celebrating Grumpy Old Men Festival at the Wabasha Public Library will be outdoor enthusiast, Mike Slygh.  Mike will share fishing and hunting stories with the Wabasha-Kellogg communities on Friday, Feb. 22nd at 10:30 a.m.

This month’s movie is based on the book by James R. Hansen.  

Movie synopsis:  Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for Universal Pictures’ First Man, the riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the years 1961-1969. A visceral, first-person account, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the movie will explore the sacrifices and the cost on Armstrong and on the nation of one of the most dangerous missions in history. 

Thank you for your patience as we installed new carpet in the library!  The carpet was installed by Larry Kennedy, Cody McNallan and Bruce Olson.  It was supplied by Interstate Building Supply.  Thank you to the many volunteers who helped to move furniture, shelving, and books.  Saturday’s volunteers included:  Greg and Gus Glomski, Dave Kennebeck, Pete Crosby, and Bruce and B.J. Hall.  The Friends of the Library helped to shelve the books, audiobooks, DVDs, and music CDs on Thursday afternoon.  The Friends included:  Jane Hager, Kay LaRocque, Jackie Kreye, Dee Mertes, Claire Abbott and Barb Deming.  Thank you to Patti at Hill’s Hardware for loaning us tubs to store items in during the week.  “There’s nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.”   – Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle.

New carpet will be arriving the week of Jan. 21st so the library will be closed while the old is removed and the new is installed.   Sorry for the inconvenience.
