Are you looking for a new hobby this winter? Give birding a try!

Join Caitlyn Schuchhardt to learn about the wide variety of birds you can find in south-central Wisconsin during the winter season.

She'll share tips for beginning birders, advice for how to make the most of winter birding, and some must-visit destinations.

Come by the library for a relaxing day of puzzles. We’ll have different puzzles set up in the Community Room for you to try to piece together.

Work alone or bring a friend.

Puzzles will be out from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. so you can come by and stay for as little or as long as you like.
