stealth programs

Thanks to Mary and Debbie from Ogema for sharing these great, easy-to-replicate programs!

A spinning prize wheel, with multicolored pie-shaped sections and a pointer, sitting in the the library under a computer table

In October, the library used their brand new prize wheel (made for them by a friend of Mary’s) to allow people to spin to win $5 off fines on Ogema materials!  If they landed on a different color, folks could win cheese snacks donated by the farm bureau, or other trinkets the library had on hand.  This was popular!

In November, the library has been soliciting 6-word stories from patrons.  Here is a sampling they have received:

One text. Three Cars. Seven Coffins.
We grew up and not old.
Torched the haystack found the needle.

Surprisingly powerful and poetic!
