Whether you're stuck at home in the snow, stuck in traffic, or stuck with your family enjoying time with your family over the holidays, don't be caught without anything to read. Learn how to use Wisconsin's Digital Library (aka OverDrive) to download ebooks and e-audiobooks to your computer or mobile device for offline reading. Bring your library card and your device to either of our two drop-in sessions for hands-on help getting started. Another set of drop-in sessions will be held in January.

Movie Matinee: Florence Foster Jenkins
Rated PG-13
Friday, December 16

What better way to spend a December Friday afternoon than watching Meryl Streep in this crowd-pleasing dramatic comedy? Florence Foster Jenkins is the true story of the legendary New York heiress and socialite who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great opera singer. The voice she heard in her head was beautiful, but to everyone else it was hilariously awful.
Movie snacks provided, or feel free to bring in your favorite film watching treat.
