Hello, and Happy Friday!
As we move into the heart of fall, we hope you're finding moments to enjoy the crisp air, vibrant colors, and cozy spaces to recharge. It’s been a season of change and reflection, and we’re here to offer a place for you to unwind, explore, and connect. Whether you’re diving into a good book, attending one of our upcoming events, or simply taking time for yourself, we’re grateful to have you as part of our community.
A gentle reminder that we will be closed on Monday, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day. |

National Native American Heritage Month |
|
It is with gratitude and humility that we, as community members and staff of the Milne Public Library, acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land. |
|
|
Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
This November, join us in recognizing Native American Heritage Month! Established in 1990 under President George H.W. Bush, this month-long observance honors the significant contributions, sacrifices, and rich cultural traditions of Native Americans, including Indigenous communities from Alaska, Hawaii, and various Island nations.
Be sure as well to check out the displays throughout the library, read our blog post, and share this important observance with others! |
