A Hedberg Public Library employee wins a literary award from the Wisconsin Library Association.
Youth Services Associate Jamie Swenson’s book, We Want Snow! A Wintry Chant, was one of ten titles awarded Outstanding Children’s Book of the Year. The Children’s Book Awards recognize outstanding books for youth by Wisconsin-connected authors.
Swenson’s award-winning book is also the featured winter title for the Robert O. Cook Memorial Arboretum StoryWalk®. Kids and families can join her for a StoryWalk® Celebration at JSOL on Thursday, December 15, at 10 a.m. Swenson will walk along and read her book, then warm up with cocoa and cookies provided by the City of Janesville Recreation Division.
Swenson’s book is available for check-out at the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville. It can also be purchased in the Ground Floor Coffee and Gift Shop with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Hedberg Public Library.
