Michele,

Thank you for sharing your grandparents with us! We do feel so lucky and blessed to know Syd and Marguerite. Please visit the library next time you are in Fort Atkinson. I’d love to meet you and show you around.

“Syd and Marguerite have shown us how to live…”

– That is the truth! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! And congratulations and thank you to this special library that has brought my grandparents so much joy! It’s a delight to hear of each step in this exciting time for the library. And I’m only a little jealous of the baked goods Grandma makes for the staff.

Jim was telling me about this stained glass piece. It is beautiful. I can’t wait to see it in person.

The futuristic chairs are gaming chairs that have speakers built into them and are routed through PS3s.

Comment on Putting the pieces back together by Connie Meyer

Hi Margaret,

I’m especially grateful to you and all the library’s neighbors for your patience during this time of disruption. I know it isn’t easy with the street blockages and the noise. Thank you for putting up with it! It is now hard to tell where the old library stopped and the new one starts…a sure sign that we are making great progress in the “putting back together” phase. I’m a lot more comfortable with the rebuilding than I was with the debuilding, that’s for sure!

It IS a delight to see this all taking place. Proud to be in the neighborhood, watching it grow back together. The building looks like it’s going to be HUGE!! Can’t wait to see the finished masterpiece!!

Comment on Fort Atkinson Officials Receive Citation of Merit by Shelly Menzer

Some people have the notion that objective forces shape history but the right person in the right place at the right time can often change the course of history. I want to thank John Wilmet for his quiet strength and leadership. He created an atmosphere of hope, perseverance and foresight with regards to the library project. The city council members didn’t miss a beat under his example and together they helped forge a positive outlook for the people of this wonderful city whom they so faithfully served. Thank you all.
