Pushing the Limits: Knowledge in a new light

We lift our imagination like a torch toward the shadows, and the stories and lessons of our past illuminate across the surface. Animated within this flickering glow, we see the emergence of new ideas and new solutions, as imagination pushes the limits of knowledge, compounding it and transforming it into wisdom, insight and expression.   Please join us for an enlightening discussion about knowledge and imagination, as we relate these concepts to the novel The Land of the Painted Caves, to the Pushing the Limits: Knowledge program videos, and to our lives. This program will be held in the Eagle Municipal Building on Thursday, April 3 from 6pm - 7pm. The presenter will be Daniel Pawlak. Pushing the Limits is a reading, viewing and discussion program for adults in communities served by rural libraries, made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Arctic Drift

I never read a book by Clive Cussler until I read Arctic Drift. If you enjoy mystery books, then I think you'll like Arctic Drift by Clive Cussler. It was a page turner. When the book ended, I thought I might like to read another book by this author. Since we have been in arctic air, this is a great book to read indoors perhaps under a blanket or next to a fire. Pick up a copy at the library soon!

Future Library Expansion

There will be a meeting for community members as well as Library Board members to talk about library expansion and next steps on Tuesday, March 4 from 6pm -7pm at the Eagle Municipal Building.

Pushing The Limits -- Knowledge

Library Catalog Enhancements

Did you notice the new banner on the catalog page of the Alice Baker Library? And how about the content carousel for Pushing The Limits -- Survival? POLARIS allows for these features to help promote library programs and also parts of the library collection. Pretty cool, heh? Watch for changes in the catalog. Enhancing the library experience.

Survival and Science

This quote is just too good to not share. "Survival pushes the human mind and body beyond what we believe is possible, and science investigates what is beyond the obvious". Eric Hill, a Waukesha North high school teacher wrote that to me in an e-mail. What does it mean to survive? And what do you think of when you hear the word "science"?
