Final Event: You Solve the Mystery Dinner!
Sponsored by the Waupaca Library Foundation with proceeds to benefit the 2010 Waupaca Book Festival to be held on October 1 & 2, 2010.

This is a mystery dinner at the Best Western Grand Seasons on Friday, March 5.

As you purchase tickets (available at the library) you can sign up to be a suspect, expert or witness. The story line is this: "A group of cultured people from the 1920s have materialized in a modern apartment in London. H. G. Wells had been testing his novel’s time machine at a soiree. Now he is discovered dead in the bathroom. Who killed him? Was it James Joyce, Isadora Duncan, T.S. Eliot, Mae West or another of the visitors? Agatha Christie herself is present to help solve this crime. The key to this puzzle may appear in a line of verse or it may not. But in any case, we must achieve justice, poetic or not."
The tickets are $35 and include dinner and entertainment. Purchase tickets and choose your character at the Information Desk.

The Value of your Library Calculator

This tool lets you enter your library usage (how many books and movies you check out, how many reference questions you ask, etc.), and see a dollar figure of how much using your library saves versus buying all these materials from a store. You can use this to estimate your savings from using the library on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis.

Please visit the calculator at Maine State Library to calculate the value of your library use.

Email Notices

Email notification of library reserves and overdue notices.
For patrons who check their email every day it might be worthwhile to receive faster notification of the arrival on their reserved library items as well as finding out about overdue materials earlier. Reserve notices are sent when items become available for checkout; overdue notices are sent as a courtesy when items are past due. Bills are excluded from e-mail notification.
