Book in a Jar Contest!
We will be doing a different book weekly for you to guess what book is in the jar. Each week the jar will have a different aged reading level book in it.
We will draw a strip of paper out of the jar and share with you the sentence from the book as a clue to what book it is daily.
Each Contest is from Monday-Thursday.
When you think you know what it is either message us on Facebook or email us at tpl@monarchlibraires.org.
We will put your name in a drawing for a prize, if you have the correct answer.

In accordance with the order from Governor Evers the Theresa Public Library will now require face coverings for all patrons age 5 and older starting Saturday August 1.

Theresa Public Library remains firmly committed to protecting the health and safety of library visitors, staff, and our wider community.

Those without a face covering will be provided a disposable one free of charge. We are also happy to offer curbside service to you.

We know people may find this objectionable – but with rising case numbers in Wisconsin, we believe the added safety is worth it, as research suggests wearing a face covering can significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19, including among those who are not aware they are infected.

Ultimately, we are erring on the side of caution in an effort to keep people safe and to be able to continue providing vital services to our community, including computer and internet access, and educational tools that are as important as ever.

For more information you can view the emergency order here:

UPDATE REGARDING QUARANTINE OF ITEMS:
New guidelines have been released from the State. They are recommending that we increase quarantine time from 72 hours to 96 hours. Effective immediately, all returned items will sit untouched and remain on your account until they are checked in after 4 days/96 hours. There will be no fines assessed at this time. All items sent to us from other libraries will also have a 4 day/96 hour quarantine time. Items will take even longer for you to receive. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
