Exhibits placed in the display case reflect the varied interests and collections of our Northern Door community. A new exhibit is on display every month, year round.

Exhibitors may, but are not required, to give an informal "Collector Talk" about their display.

Volunteer Opportunities:
With our new, larger facility, we depend heavily on volunteers from our community to carry out both the day-to-day tasks and the special happenings at the Library. Our dedicated volunteers shelve books, maintain the gardens, conduct programs, and hold our annual book sale. Please phone Nancy at 920-854-7392 if you are interested in joining us!

This annual fundraiser is held the Saturday of Labor Day weekend under the tent at Sister Bay's Marina Fest. Books for the sale are donated and collected the last two weeks of August. The sale is held from 10:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M., with totally volunteer help. The book sale presents an excellent volunteer opportunity for all aspects of the big event--from setting up, to sales, to packing up at the end of the day--we can use YOUR help! Please contact Nancy at 920-854-7392 to volunteer your time.

Background Information:
The construction of the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove library building in 2002 was a cooperative venture of the Village of Sister Bay and the Town of Liberty Grove along with private donors to the project. Of the $1.5 million needed, a third was provided by each of the above entities. On-going expenses for the operation and upkeep of the facility are shared by the Town and the Village. The Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Library Building Commission is made up of three representatives from the Village of Sister Bay and three from the Town of Liberty Grove, plus the Librarian. Funding for staff and materials comes from Door County.
