Homework Help Center Open

Brainfuse provides online homework help through its unique HelpNow service—a blend of one-to-one homework help, skills-building, test preparation, and writing assistance. Teens who need help getting started using Brainfuse are invited to drop in at the Homework Help Center where an adult coach can assist in learning to use this service at scheduled times.

Interested in a Remote Book Club?

We're looking at an idea to hold a Mead Library Book Discussion group via Skype, the free text/voice/video web software. If you're interested in "meeting" with other Sheboygan area people to talk about books, but find it hard to get out of the house, this might be the solution for you. If you're interested, use the contact us form to let us know. Thanks!

Want to Be a Book Giver?

World Book Night has a goal of getting 50,000 people in the US to go out in the community on or about Monday, April 23, and give a book to a stranger or to people you might know. If chosen, you'll be given 20 free paperbacks specially-produced, not-for-resale editions, and there will be 30 titles for you to choose from. This group, supported by authors and publishers, wants to give away a million books. Mead Library, with the Friends of Mead Public Library, has applied to be a pickup point for your books. Deadline is Feb. 1. Learn more and apply at the World Book Night website.

Book Groups Announce Titles

Join us for a book discussion! Groups will begin meeting in January. Three groups read a wide selection of books (no signup required for these groups) and a fourth features the "Great Books." Take a look at the titles, get your copy, and start reading. We'll see you there!

More E-book Workshops Planned

Learn to download Mead Public Library e-books using our free OverDrive software. A 30-minute presentation will show how the download process works and a library staff member will answer questions about downloading to your device (on a first-come basis). Bring along your e-reader, if you’d like! All sessions held in the library's Rocca Meeting Room. Here's the schedule.
