The Frankenmuth Wickson District Library is pleased to announce that Jennifer Rebecca-Bellaver Harden has been named the library’s new Assistant Director. Harden brings more than 15 years of public library leadership, outreach, programming, and marketing experience to the role, along with a strong commitment to community engagement and lifelong learning.

In honor of National Storytelling Week (along with the fact that this year is the 250th anniversary of the United States AND Michigan became a state in the month of January! whew!) the Cass River Genealogy Society invited its members to share stories of their first Michigan ancestors! Have fun reading through the stories gathered here- maybe it will inspire you to research your own genealogy!

A lot of thought and effort goes into creating a book cover design. Even when one is decided upon and published, there are often different covers if the author changes publishers or a movie version of the book comes out, so a new cover is created. And I admit, a cover can definitely influence whether or not I pick a book up to see what it is about.

And all of that hard work resulted in over $5000 in donations back to Wickson District Library! THANK YOU, Friends! You are an incredible asset to our library, and we deeply appreciate all of your hard work.
