Karl L. Stewart idolized his grandfather when he was young. The man was an icon from another age. A Choctaw raised in Oklahoma, his grandfather had magic hands – he could make and fix anything. One of Stewart’s most-prized possessions is a pair of leather chaps his grandfather made for him before he died when Stewart was only 10.

Veteran travelers Valerie and Wayne Graczyk have stored up a great deal of knowledge, passion and expertise – not to mention photographs – from their trips around the globe. They’re so excited about what they’ve seen and learned that they want to share with others.
If you’re a frequent OverDrive user, you may have noticed some changes. The page has been redesigned by a statewide committee. The new site features a much larger, centrally located search box. Advanced search options are still available; Advanced Search is just to the right of the main search box.
On the left column, you’ll see that the various categories to browse are much easier to use. Instead of multiple nonfiction or fiction categories broken up by format, you can browse by format and then genre.
Do you reread books? Rereading is a guilty pleasure for some readers; it feels sinful to read something you’ve already experienced when there are so many books out there to discover. And while it is unrealistic to think you’ll ever read everything, it doesn’t hurt to try, right? Ambition and passion are good things!
To help celebrate National Library Week, the Friends of the Fond du Lac Public Library will be selling I Bark for Books T-shirts sporting the smiling face of Browser, the library’s furry mascot. The T-shirts will be sold for $8 in the library’s lobby from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. April 9 through April 13.
When the community was asked to contribute to the new library branch, FDLPL Express, they came out in force. More than $55,000 was raised in just over six months.
