Puzzles Available for Checkout

We have puzzles! The Library now has puzzles that can be checked out just as a book would be. A new floor display as you walk into the Library highlights all the puzzles that are available for checkout with more to be catalogued and in the system soon. The puzzles will be moved to the shelves on the left side as you walk in the Library for permanent location.

If you have good gently used puzzles to donate to the Library, bring them in and have Dave take a look at them.

Lawn Renovation at the Muscoda Library

A major lawn renovation project has been completed at the library. This project, which was 100% funded by donations, included removing the current (weed filled) lawn, installing an irrigation system, adding a layer of good dirt, installing sod all the way around, and planting 7 trees.

This project has been discussed and anticipated since the new library opened and after 2 attempts to establish a good lawn around the library. The Library Board and Staff are very thankful to all those who donated to make this project possible. Our beautiful Library will look even better and enhance the look of Muscoda!
