Milwaukee.
We have received a letter of resignation from Carolyn Beske. We have asked to refill the job, but have not yet
received permission.
The first half of our WCFLS payment arrived: $22,728.50. The bulk of the funds will go to purchase materials.
The Kiwanis Of Muskego gave us additional copies of “Junior Phonics.” The math kits they donated last fall are
processed and on the shelves as well.
The Log Cabin Quilters have been so appreciativc! of our meeting room, and the hard work of the maintenance
staff that they have donated a new book, Wisconsin Quilts: Stories in the Stitches, by Ellen Kort.
Gary Hallet and his daughters will be presenting :I check from the 4-H popcorn sales-perhaps at tonight’s
meeting. We have earmarked the money to go tO\mrd the purchase of the Newbery and Caldecott winners.
Former Mayor David De Angelis has loaned the library the flag that hung in his office. It is near the entrance to
the reading room. A plaque reads: “The Flag of 1:he United States of America. This is to certify that the
accompanying flag was flown over the United States Capitol on April 30,1992, at the request of the Honorable
Gerald D. Kleczka, Member of Congress. The flag1 was flown for Paul De Angelis on the occasion of his
retirement from 22 years of service for the City of Muskego. George M. White, FAIA, Architect of the Capitol. On
thanks on the library’s behalf.

The “Hunter Safety” class given by the DNR is meeting here. There will be no live ammunition, but the teacher
them like Rambo-but we thought it was nice of the teacher to call, as library users might be concerned and
question the staff.
One thing that receives comment is the displays. Student Art Month, and the Helen Mean Art Contest,
sponsored by the Muskego Woman’s Club, caused lots of talk. We have decided to plan the proposed student
art auction for next year. The proposal approved by the library board has been submitted to Dr. DNW. Displays

newspapers.” -Thomas Jefferson.
We received word this evening that Marie Lund’s father has passed away. Our sympathy goes out to her family.
