Renovation At Demmer Library Finds Need For "Book Fostering"

Demmer Memorial Library

The upcoming construction at the Demmer library in Three Lakes has brought about some programming changes.

Andrew Johnson is Adult/Young Adult Librarian. He says they need some community volunteers to help 'foster' some books to help hold some of the collection during the renovation...

"....with a total renovation like this, we're not able to take the entire collection with us into the temporary library space. We're asking the community to get involved and they can have big check out of books of their choosing during the duration of the renovation. "

The main portion of the library will move shortly to the former "Choo-Choo" store downtown.

They're capping the fostering at 100 books. Johnson says a large, sturdy, sealable plastic tote will be required to store books to avoid water damage. He says fostering up to 100 books may require more than one plastic tote. Johnson says while in your care, these books will be available to you, but may not be loaned to anyone outside your home. He says several dozen volunteers have already come forward, but more are needed.

Johnson says the books are likely to stay in your home close to one year until the Demmer renovation is completed.

The library's "Story Hour" will be moving to the 1-2-3 Dance studio on Superior Street in Three Lakes starting in March 6.
