National Library Week 2023

Celebrate National Library Week April 23-29, 2023: There's More to the Story

Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats, from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story. Libraries of Things lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures.

Art in the Library!

Down By the Riverside detail by Janice Spencer

Whether you’re an art lover or simply just art-curious, the Windsor-Severance Library warmly invites you to come and visit our art gallery, located in the Quiet Space area at the back of the library. Four painters from the Windsor Lake Artists group– Nancee Sebenaler, Janice Spencer, Matthew Thompson, and Joyce Devine-Stumpf—have been gracious enough to partner with us in showcasing their work in the space for the months of November and December.
