Dear Patrons,

COVID19 has brought about a strange new normal for all of us. However, people who reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities have seen an increase in depression rates in the last six months. With self-isolation and some, if not all, nursing homes and assisted living facilities closing their doors to visitors’, residents do not get much needed social interaction. Here is where you come in. A letter even from someone can lift the spirits of a lonely person. Just think about a time when that unexpected piece of mail made you smile. So, lets help put smiles on the faces of local residents of our nursing home and assisted living facilities. Write a letter, bring it to the library and put it in the mailbox. We will quarantine them for three days, and our Outreach coordinator, Elizabeth S., will deliver them to the local facilities. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth S. esimek@antigopl.org or 715-623-3724.

Scary stories for young foxes by Christian McKay Heidicker

The haunted season has arrived in the Antler Wood. No fox kit is safe. When Mia and Uly are separated from their litters, they discover a dangerous world full of monsters. In order to find a den to call home, they must venture through field and forest, facing unspeakable things that dwell in the darkness: a zombie who hungers for their flesh, a witch who tries to steal their skins, a ghost who hunts them through the snow . . . and other things too scary to mention. Featuring eight interconnected stories and sixteen hauntingly beautiful illustrations, Scary Stories for Young Foxes contains the kinds of adventures and thrills you love to listen to beside a campfire in the dark of night.
