The Friends of the Musser Public Library hosts events throughout the year. We look forward to continuing the tradition in the years to come.
'Book' time to play Mini Golf at the Library
The Friends of Musser Public Library are setting up for a "hole" lot of after-hours fun at the library on Saturday, Feb. 15.
"Book" time for a friendly round of Mini Golf at the Library that will take place between the collections! This family-friendly event will be from 3-5 pm at the Musser Public Library, 408 E. 2nd St. Come see how stacks of books and other random objects can be arranged into a nine-hole course! Test your hand-eye coordination, and watch for hole sponsorships and fun jokes and trivia along the way.
See the graphic at left for entry fees (which are discounted for Friends members - and you can sign up for membership at the event). While payment (cash or check) will be accepted at the event, you can pay for and reserve your time in advance by going to the library's service desk.
We are looking for businesses and organizations to help us with hole sponsorships and prizes. If interested, please contact Kathy Kuhl at (563) 263-3065 x114 or friendsofmusser@gmail.com.
There will be drawings for prizes.
2025 Friends calendars still available
Did you know that the current site of the New York Dollar Store was once the home of S.S. Kresge Company 5-10-25 Cent store? You would know if you had a Friends of Musser Public Library 2025 calendar!
Oscar Grossheim captured a photo of this “five and dime (and quarter, apparently) housed at 109-111 E. Second St., and it is the calendar's January photo. These calendars, chock full of historical photos and facts, are only $10 each, and there are still some available. Proceeds go to the Friends organization, which, in turn, helps our 123-year-old public library! Stop in at Musser Public Library’s circulation desk to purchase. We accept cash or checks.
Thank you for your support at book sale!
Many joined Friends, even more bought items to support the organization!
This may sound familiar and a little cheesy to those who were sitcom fans in the 1980s, but here goes anyway: Thank you for being a Friend!
Because of the interest and enthusiasm of those who marked their calendars for the October 18-20 event – or just happened to run across it on our first floor – The Friends of Musser Public Library had a successful Book Sale Event. In addition to raising funds for the Friends to support Musser Public Library, the organization also gained 18 new memberships because of the membership requirement to buy on the sale’s first day. (And maybe they wanted to join anyway, right?)
Thank you, buyers, for supporting the organization that supports the library, monetarily (summer reading program, Channel 5, sending staff members to library conferences) and with awareness-raising events (Local Author’s Event, Five Years at 408 Celebration). And thank you also to our library employees and young volunteers who helped set up Room 104 as an extension to the regular sale area in the first-floor lobby.
