The weather outside is frightful! As much as we love Sauk City, this time of year we dream of going someplace else. Stop into the library and put a pin on our big map showing us where you want to go. If you write an explanation about why you'd like to go, and we'll enter you into a drawing for a world map just like the one here at the library (but without the pin holes!) If you don't want to venture out into the cold or don't live here in Sauk Prairie, you can play too!

It's time again for Facial Hair Friday! Every Friday during the month of Movember we're digging through our family photo archives and highlighting some jaw-dropping moustaches from Sauk City's history. This week we look at Andrew Sprecher. Andrew was born in Black Hawk as one of nine children. His father died while he was still a boy and Andrew spent much of his youth working on his widowed mother's farm. For a time, he lived in Dubuque, IA and worked at a carpenter before returning to Sauk City to work as a merchant in a general store.

Both Sauk City and Prairie du Sac are official "Bird Cities." The library wants to support the efforts of our villages to educate the public and create a welcoming environment for birds. So, it was a perfect fit when Colby came to the library to ask if he could partner with us on his Eagle Scout project. He wanted to build a few things for the library and we suggested a bird feeder be one of those things.

Welcome to another edition of Facial Hair Friday! Every Friday during "Movember" we're highlighting a glorious 'stache from Sauk City's past. Today, we look at Adrian Becker shown below with his wife.
