KEWAUNEE COUNTY – What brings you joy? Whether it’s cozying up with a new story, learning a new skill, gathering with community or something else, you can find your joy at your Kewaunee County libraries.

National Library Week, April 19-25, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination and support lifelong learning. From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.

Both libraries invite everyone to join the celebration. Whether you’re a longtime patron, a new neighbor or haven’t visited in a while, now is the perfect time to explore all the library has to offer. Kewaunee County’s libraries provide interactive play centers, storytimes, scavenger hunts, adult programs, STEAM programs, free Wi-Fi, digital collections like Libby and Hoopla, career workshops and makerspaces, ensuring that everyone has access to resources that educate, inspire and connect.

Whatever brings you joy, the library has something for everyone.

Libraries serve as hubs for learning, creativity, and connection, helping people of all ages explore new ideas and opportunities.
