Cedarburg Public Library
Luck of the Irish this March

Join us in spreading the luck of the Irish in March by becoming an active member of Cedarburg Friends of the Library. Your support helps us continue to provide valuable resources and programs to our community, such as the Lucky Day shelves pictured above. These shelves house extra copies of very popular new books that the Friends have bought for the library. Any time you step into the library, it can be your Lucky Day and you may see the book you've been longing to read on these shelves! This is just one of the many items the Friends help to provide for patrons.

 

Read here for how to become a member or be involved. 

 

Thank you to New Fortune and TOAST Cedarburg for hosting our recent Dine Out Do Good and Dining to Donate fundraisers.
 
Their support, along with all of you that were able to dine with us on those days, helped raise funds to support our library programs and buy more books in 2024!
