NEW EXPLORER PASSES!!!
The Greendale Public Library is happy to announce that we now have several Explorer Passes available to checkout inside the library. We currently offer Discovery World and Milwaukeee Art Museum passes, with Betty Brinn Children's Museum and Mitchell Park Domes passes coming soon! These passes are not holdable so you have to visit the library (or call ahead) to see if any are available to checkout. So ask if any are available the next time you visit the library ;-)

| "Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get started. Lowen uncovers an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended anyone to read, with pages of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate him. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit, if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her"-- Provided by publisher. |

Dear Library Lovers –
There’s much to announce this month so I’ll keep it brief. But I want to make a special note about the upcoming Friends of the Greendale Public Library Annual Member Meeting, on Tuesday May 17 at 6PM, at Vintage38. The Friends will elect Board Officers for the upcoming year, as well as vote on donation proposals from the Library’s Wish List. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know the Friends and their activities for anyone curious about the work and people of generous group. I hope to see some new faces there, maybe yours?
See you at the Library!
-Brian Van Klooster
