It's our second annual Green Lake County Reads, a county wide community read. Join the five libraries in Green Lake County, Markesan, Green Lake, Berlin, Kingston, and Princeton as we discuss and explore Nickolas Butler's moving debut novel Shotgun Lovesongs. Each library will host a book discussion and additional programming. The Reads conclude on October 5 with Butler's Author Talk at 2pm at Berlin High School. For more information follow our Green Lake County Reads Facebook Page. 

The hometown theme plays prominently in the Green Lake County Reads 2019 title, Shotgun Lovesongs. Here is your opportunity to showcase your hometown, or current town. Submit up to three photos to our photography contest highlighting the place where you live. Then from Monday September 23 to Saturday September 28 people can vote for their favorite photos. Photos will be posted on this Facebook page, where people can vote via likes, and printed out at the Princeton Library, where you can vote in person.

Photos can be submitted to the following email: director@princetonpublib.org Please include Photography Contest in the subject line.

The librarians of Green Lake County will choose the top three winners, plus the voting public will choose the people's choice winner. All four winners will have their photos printed and framed and will be included in the Author Event: Nickolas Butler, plus will be hung in the new Princeton Public Library for at least one year.

All ages can participate in this photography contest. Residency in Green Lake County is not required to participate.

While the new remodeled and expanded library will not open to the public until the end of October, we know you are anxious to see how the project is coming. Which is why it is very exciting we are offering a SNEAK PEEK. Prior to the installation of furniture, carpeting and more, we are opening the doors the public. Stop by any time between 11-1pm on Saturday September 21. Participants will be given to the chance to sign the cement floor as well marking their contribution to the project. Bring your family, have lunch downtown and see how the library is shaping up. 

Our library is currently under construction for a remodel and expansion project. We are doubling the size of our old library. Just look at this beautiful rendering. We hope to be in our new library in early October. Until then the library is being housed in a temporary location at St. John's Lutheran School at 227 Harvard St. Enter on the Clinton Street entrance. Donations are still being accepted for the project. We are trying to raise the last $75,000. Checks can be mailed to Princeton Library PO Box 234 Princeton WI 54968
