Happy Retirement!

Today is the last day of work for Ms. Lynn Kuechenmeister who, for over 25 years, has been a fixture here at the Chippewa Falls Public Library. Lynn was head of the Circulation Department, the department that handles check-ins, check-outs, overdues, fines, shelving, lost items, etc. In many ways, the Circulation Department is where "the rubber meets the road," and Lynn has made sure the tire pressure stayed where it needed to be.

Lynn has been a smiling face for the public, a friendly ear to the staff and a helpful voice for administration. She deserves a happy retirement.

Her daily contribution will be missed and I wish her luck on behalf of the staff, board and Friends of the Chippewa Falls Public Library.

Construction Notice

STARTING TUESDAY, APRIL 3rd, THE CHIPPEWA FALLS PUBLIC LIBRARY WILL BE UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS.

Market and Johnson will be installing windows in the west wall. Work will be done between 7am and 3:30pm for about two weeks. There will be some noise and parts of the library (mostly the adult fiction section) may be inaccessible.

The library will not close during this time, but the environment may be less conducive to studying and other pursuits requiring the relative silence of a public library.

Also, ADULT FICTION, LARGE PRINT FICTION and LARGE PRINT NON-FICTION will not be available for online holds from April 2nd--April 17th.

If you have any questions, please call the library information desk at 715-723-1146 x. 106.

Meet, Greet and Goodbye

The readers of this blog are invited to a farewell gathering the Friends of the Library are holding for Library Director Darryl Eschete on Monday, April 2nd at 7pm. As you may know, Darryl is headed for Iowa.

The bittersweet little soiree' will be held in the mezzanine level, complete with refreshments.

A book will be donated to the library by the Friends in recognition of the time Darryl has spent here.
