Madison Community Foundation Grant Update
As reported in our last newsletter, we are excited to be expanding our large print collection, thanks to a grant from the Madison Community Foundation that will provide $25,000 over the next three years. New large print books are hitting our shelves – and, in addition to filling holds placed by library users throughout the territory served by the shared LINKcat, being delivered to senior centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes where they are finding interested readers.
If you have suggestions about titles that we could add, please contact Mary Driscoll at 266-4419 or dclout@scls.lib.wi.us

Shirley Kevil of Sun Prairie Reviews:The Cat Who Went Bananas by Lilian Jackson Braun
This is the 27th, in “The Cat Who…” series with Jim Qwilleran a columnist for the Moose County Something. Living with him are two Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum. Their home is an apple barn, until winter comes at which time they move into an apartment complex.
Jim Quilleran is writing a book about the Hibbard House, a uniquely historic residence that is dated several generations back. It is all made of wood.
The citizens of the town of Pickax look forward to its latest theatrical production and a new bookshop.
There is a suspicious death of an out of town actor and the theft of a rare book and other mysteries.
Koko, the male cat and Yum Yum help solve mysteries. Koko is a perceptive Siamese who knows beyond human understanding. Polly, Jim’s friend retired from being a librarian to working in the book store.

Identity
Dandelions
don’t know
they’re weeds;
they just
serenely yawn in blissful, yellow
ignorance—
a plague
upon your lawn.
