Mead Public Library

A Ride on "The Green Steed"

The 2009 Sheboygan Reads selection is "The Green Steed" by local author Betsy Michael. It's the story of her travels on the "steed," her green bicycle that carried her on many adventures. See her bike on display on the library's first floor, and pick up a copy of the book to check out, or purchase your own at Customer Service ($15, proceeds benefit the library). Programs, an online discussion, and excerpts, too!

Step Up and You May Win!

The American Library Association (ALA) and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum have teamed up for Season Four of Step Up to the Plate @ your library®.

Season Four centers around multiculturalism in baseball. Starting April 18, people of all ages are encouraged to use the print and electronic resources available at their library to answer a series of trivia questions designed for their age group and inspired by the history and diversity of our national pastime.
