February 2022

Do you love piña coladas (while you read a book)? Bringing books in from the rain? In honor of Library Lovers Month, we’re using the monthly newsletter to play matchmaker and connect you with something you’ll love at the library. We can’t wait to connect with what we love most at the library: all of you!

If you love reading…

Our all-ages winter reading challenge celebrates the books, people, and things we love. Challenge yourself to complete five activities on your own or with your family during the month of February. Sign up on our website or using the Beanstack app.

If you love talking about what you’re reading…

Join one of our book clubs!

If you love being read to…

Virtual storytime returns February 18. New episodes drop each Friday at 10 am on our Facebook page.

Call our Dial-a-Story at 877-907-8081 to enjoy a short tale before bed, while you’re brushing your teeth, on the drive to school, or whenever you’re in the mood. New stories are added regularly, and a new story in Spanish is added each week. ¡Un cuento nuevo en español cada semana!

If you like being creative at home…

Children’s grab & go kits are back this winter! Pick up a kit at the library.

If you do like being creative but you don’t like rules…

Teen Bad Art night is here for you. Spend Valentine’s Day celebrating your inner mediocre artist. Sign up here.

If you like reading but you hate making decisions…

Check out this month’s book displays in person or through our catalog. In February we’re highlighting Black History Month, friendship, and more.

If you like getting your tax return…

Tax forms have arrived. We have Federal 1040 forms and instructions, Wisconsin 1 forms, and Wisconsin Homestead booklets, plus additional forms that can be photocopied. Find out if you can file online for free here: https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/general/

If you like breaking records…

You might have been one of the readers who helped Wisconsin checkout over 7.2 million ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines from Wisconsin’s Digital Library through our website or the Libby app. That’s a lot of reading going on for a state with just under 6 million residents!

If you like not having library fines anymore…

Commemorate one year of the Platteville Public Library being a fines free library by rewatching our 2021 music video “No Fees, No Fines.”

If you like lots of twos…

So do we! To celebrate Tuesday, 2/22/2022, here are some of our favorite fictional duos:
