Christmas Walk & Fiesta Images


What a great time we all had at the Christmas Walk! The library had plenty of traffic throughout both days, including more than a few new faces. We were blessed, of course, with some top-notch entertainment, especially our wonderful harpist, Paula Settle, and the wonderful junior advisors who performed a Readers Theater rendition of Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates both days. We also loved displaying the samples of student art from the Chamber of Commerce contest. Here's a link to some of our favorite photos from the event.

And here's a link to some photos from the cultural fiesta we hosted on Dec. 6. The event was jointly sponsored by the Kiel and New Holstein libraries, and funded by a special grant from the federal government called "Learning to Use the Library in Another Language." Bob Hafeman, coordinator of the Manitowoc-Calumet Library System, gets the credit for writing the grant for the six MCLS libraries. The goal was to bring Hispanics and gringos together for a cultural evening of fun, food, music and sharing. It was all that and more!
