Direct from the Director
By Jeff Dawson
The internet is a wonderful thing. There is a world of valid and
trustworthy information available via the internet. Sadly, that viable
data is mixed in with some pretty unreliable data. The good news,
Lester Public Library is there to help guide you to information resources
that are dependable.
Further, access to reliable internet resources does not require a visit to
the library. Not that we don’t want you to visit us, but we understand
that running from day care to work to the grocery store make take
precedence over a stop at the library. That said, the library offers access
to a number of wonderful resources you can use from home or office.
All the following resources can be accessed through the library’s
website: www.lesterlibrary.org.
Once at our website click on the ‘Borrow’ button to access our most
popular digital collections. Free e-books and e-audiobooks are available
to Lester Public Library patrons through Wisconsin’s Digital Library, also
known as Overdrive. To get started you’ll need a valid library card with
less than $10.00 of fines; you’ll also need a PIN number, typically the last
four digits of your phone number. If you need to change your phone
number, inquire about a bill, or renew an expired card, please call
(920)793-8888 for assistance.
Free books and audiobooks from bestselling authors can be
downloaded to a wide variety of computers, tablets, readers and
phones–including Kindles, Nooks, iPads, iPhones and many
android devices. To see if your device is supported, please
visit the Device Resource Center link provide on our
website. Like a regular library collection, Overdrive lets
you place holds on popular materials and gives immediate
access to books that are ready to loan.
You’ll never have to worry about late fees
with digital downloads; items will
cont’d next page...

LIBRARY CLOSED FRIDAY, JULY 3-SUNDAY, JULY 5
Book drops are available 24/7 and are located at the back of the library and in Mishicot.
Clipper City Co-Op: Food for Change
Tuesday, July 7 5:00 PM
Clipper City Co-op, our Port Cities’ future community-owned grocery
store, will present a segment of the new film, Food for Change which examines the
growth of independent, community-owned food co-operatives in America, and their
unique historic place in our economic and political landscape.
The 20 minute segment will be followed by a brief presentation by Co-op founders
including a question and answer session. Locally sourced refreshments will be
served during the open conversation and networking portion of the evening.
….Direct from the Director cont’d
automatically “expire” and return themselves on the due date, typically three weeks from
checkout.
In this same section of our website, you will find access to digital magazines with the Zinio
and Flipster applications. Zinio is a wonderful service that allows you to download magazines to your
smart phone, tablet, or computer and enjoy them any time you want—for FREE. You will be able to
check out as many magazines, current and back issues (if available), as you’d like and keep them as long
as you’d like; no need to return them and no overdue fines, no matter how long you keep them. To get
started click on the Zinio logo, or read the user guide if you want step by step instructions, both found on
our website.
We also offer access to Flipster magazines using a computer or mobile device. You’ll be asked for your library card
number (patron ID), then select a magazine to view it within your browser. You can access Flipster from the library
computers, your home or office computer, your phone or your tablet, as long as you are connected to the Internet.
Downloads are available for a limited time for offline use. Visit our website to view the many magazines offered
through both services.
BadgerLink is another great resource under the “Borrow” tab. BadgerLink provides access to licensed content such
as magazines, newspapers, scholarly articles and databases not available through regular search engines such as
Google. These authoritative resources are perfect for students, genealogists and researchers. BadgerLink is paid for
by your state tax dollars though the Department of Public Instruction and offers a wide variety of databases that are
available to any Wisconsin library card holder. There truly is something for everyone here including automotive
repair manuals, college test preparation software, computer software instruction, genealogy, medical research and
so much more – follow the link from our site or visit directly http://www.badgerlink.net/ .
This is but a small taste of the digital resources and content available through our webpage. Explore our website
where you will discover links to historic photographs, or connect to our library Flickr page to view over 20,000 photos
taken in our area since 2007. These resources are unique to the Lester Public Library but are freely accessible
wherever there is an internet connection.
While these online resources are not meant to replace the experience of visiting your local library, they are welcome
additions to the collections available for public use. And remember, staff members at Lester Public Library are always
available to guide you through these valuable digital resources. We hope you use them often and still find time to
stop in the library and browse our impressive collection of physical resources, over 70,000 items strong.

Meet Patty Basset
Public Relations Coordinator Since 2015
What do you do at the library?
I am the Public Relations Coordinator, which means I make the schedule for
the people at the circulation desk, supervise the pages who put books away
once they are returned, and you’ll occasionally see me filing in on the
circulation desk when we get busy. I also do some of the promotions for the
library, help with getting sponsorships of some of our larger programs, like
National Library Week, and assemble the online newsletter.
What do you like most about your job?
I love the people I work with. Not a day goes by were we don’t enjoy a laugh
or story about something happening in our lives or at the library.
What did you do before the library?
I was born right here in Two Rivers. I grew up here, but after high school, I
joined the Army. I was in the Army for seven years, before I met my husband. After the
Army, we lived in a few different places, like Texas and Massachusetts. In 2007, we
moved back to the Manitowoc area. I went to school for website development and
marketing. I formerly worked for the City of Two Rivers before I moved to the Lester
Public Library full time. I am happily married, with two cats and a dog.
When you're not at work, what do you enjoy doing?
I love making things with my hands. I knit, crochet, make a bunch of different crafts, play computer
games, Minecraft being my favorite.
What is your favorite book? Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card.
What are you currently reading?
I am currently reading the Gospel of Loki, by Joanne Harris, but I’m always taking recommendations on what I
should read next.
