Rhinelander District Library announces November events

The Rhinelander District Library has announced its slate of November events starting with the Neighbors Helping Neighbors drive. The library will be collecting food and household items during regular library hours during the month of November. All items will be donated directly to the Nicolet Food Pantry to help those in need, according to a library press release.

 For a full list of accepted donations, visit www.rhinelanderlibrary.org or call the library at 715-365-1070.

Also, just in time for the holiday season, the public is invited to learn how to make handcrafted Christmas cards with Sherill Willis on Wednesday, Nov. 15 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the library meeting room. Willis will be teaching three card designs and one envelope design, the release states. All supplies are provided. Space is limited — all participants must pre-register on the library website or at the library front desk. 

Later in the month, the holiday family fun will continue with the library’s third annual Gingerbread House Contest. Use your own materials or pick up a kit at the library starting Monday, Nov. 20. and build a marvelous gingerbread creation (A house? A barn? A spaceship? Whatever you want!). Entries are due at the library front desk by 12 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9 in one of three categories: Pre-K-6th grade, 7th-12th grade, or Adult/Family. The winner for each category will be announced on Monday, Dec. 18

Workshop Wednesday announcement: Please note that the start of Workshop Wednesdays has been postponed; the Workshop programs will begin in 2024. 

 These, and all Rhinelander District Library programs are free and open to the public. For more information,  call the Rhinelander District Library at 715-365-1070 or visit www.rhinelanderlibrary.org.
