2-13-2026 The weather has taken a delightful turn; however, at the library we are hoping at least a trace of snow will remain for our Frozen Party on Thursday, February 19th at 1:00-2:30. Miss Maria’s plans for the February ETCSD’s inservice day is much more in line...
It's Your Library . . . Check It Out!
Director's ColumnName that Whale
2-6-2026 Residents of Walworth, Rock, and Racine Counties have six opportunities this spring to have a Whale of a good time. Kate Davis, of PLLS and Spice Club fame, has organized a cooperative program involving a life-size 56-foot, inflatable grey whale. Inside is a...

Next Steps for ETLPL
12-26-2025 In November we revealed the conceptual drawings for a new library. Since then, there have been no shouting from the rooftop updates. Rather than going quietly into the night and leave East Troy wondering what is happening, I’ll end 2025 with an overview of...

12-19-2025 The holiday season is notoriously busy, which makes it all the more impressive that enough East Troy Middle School students signed up for the 2025 Battle of the Books to create six teams. Participation in Battle of the Books or BoB is completely voluntary....
