Effective Tuesday, Dec. 31st, Shawano County Library will be discontinuing Hoopla streaming service.
After careful consideration, this difficult decision was necessary due to the increasing and unpredictable cost of this service. Although Hoopla has been free for our patrons to use, Shawano County Library is charged a fee per item checked out—once "Borrow Title" is clicked, the library is immediately billed between $1.99-$3.99 for that item. Unfortunately, this cost-per-circulation model makes the service unsustainable.
Digital materials can still be accessed through WPLC OverDrive and its accompanying app, Libby. We are happy to help you with OverDrive or Libby and get started with digital borrowing.
Join us as we read Survival Food by Thomas Pecore Weso in February!
In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” Source: Publisher For more information go to: https://bit.ly/2025WinterCommunityRead |
