Not Just a Library

Disney on Ice and the Brown Deer Public Library are partnering to encourage reading among pre-school and elementary age children.

This year, Disney on Ice celebrates 100 Year of Magic! Over 65 unforgettable characters from 18 beloved Disney stories will come to life with Disney on Ice, and the Brown Deer Public Library wants you to win a ticket to see them!

Between December 18th and January 25th, just read 5 age-appropriate books to earn an entry into a drawing to win a ticket to Disney on Ice! Every time you read 5 books, you will earn an entry into the drawing! So the more you read, the more entries you will earn!

25 lucky readers will win a ticket for the February 5th performance of Disney on Ice, playing at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Come to the reference desk beginning December 18th for more information and for your reading checklist.

Good luck!

Come one! Come all! The Friends of the Brown Deer Library present their annual auction this Thursday night!

There are lots of new and exciting items this year, including paintings by Owen Gromme. One of the best known and well-loved artists to come out of Wisconsin, Owen Gromme was born in Fond du Lac on July 5th 1896 and grew up along the shores of Lake Winnebago. One of Mr. Gromme's finest accomplishments is his book "Birds of Wisconsin", which is beautifully illustrated by many of his paintings. 

There will also be those famous Friends Muffins, overnight hotel stays, sports memorbilia, collectibles, home decor items, and far too much more to list.

There will be a preview at 6:00 pm, and the auction will begin at 6:30 pm. Free admission and refreshments will be served.

So come early, relax, and get ready to bid! We'll see you there!

Join us for the next Teen Book Club meeting on November 20th from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. We will be reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Interested in discussing this book? Just register for the Teen Book Club at the reference desk, and check out a copy of the book at the circulation desk. A number of copies of the book have been set aside just for the Teen Book Club. Then read the book by November 20th, and come ready to have a fun and lively discussion. Some refreshments will be provided.
