The South Milwaukee Public Library always sponsors a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. read in January. This year the week long celebration will be the week of January 21. Volunteers select from a collection of books that the library sets aside and reads to the fourth graders in the public and private schools on the topic of civil rights. If you would like to be a reader, please call Miss Denise at 768-8195 Ext 3 to register.
Like to discuss books? You are invited to the Thursday afternoon book club. The groups meets the second Thursday of the month at 1 pm in the Library Board room. Call the Reference Desk to find out the current selection.
You now can pay your overdue fines and other charges by credit card on line. You need only to go to the CountyCat and sign in on your account. Just following the instructions.

Need a tax deduction? The South Milwaukee Public Library Foundation, Inc. is a 501 C 3 tax exempt entity whose purpose is to raise funds for programming for children and adults as well as purchase materials for the library collection. All donations are tax deductible.
