The Menominee County Library Friends will host an open house for “Words on Wheels” on Saturday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Words on Wheels” will be parked in front of the library everyone is encouraged to check it out.

The Library Board is grateful for all the wonderful community support involved with replacing the county bookmobile. Menominee County had the first bookmobile in the U.P. and now has the newest one in the state. The public is invited to stop at the library or at any bookmobile stops, and should remember to wave at “Words on Wheels” when it is out and about.

The Menominee County Library is open to the public with free Wi-Fi, public computers, and a scanner. Library cards are free to county residents (and available for a small fee for those outside of Menominee County).
