"Our patrons love the new Discovery Kits. The outdoor games are particularly popular now. We are profoundly grateful for the generosity of the Mequon-Thiensville Community Foundation. Libraries are about so much more than books. These games, and tools, and the new WIFI Hotspots are so valuable. Each Discovery Kit represents opportunities for our community to explore something new, to build a new skill, to experience something on their own or with others that they have not experienced before. This is especially important during this pandemic because many of our worlds have shrunk a bit. These Kits give patrons the tools to expand their worlds just a bit."

- Rachel Muchin, Director, Frank L. Weyenberg Library Director
