Welcome to 2025 at the Gillett Public Library! It’s another year of markets, songs, adventures, and reading! It might be winter outside, but we’re already preparing for summer fun! Until then, our programs will provide some boredom busters from our Wisconsin Wintry Wonderland. I hope everyone has a great holiday season.
Reminder: When the Gillett Schools are closed for inclement weather or dangerous temperatures, the Gillett Public Library will also be closed. (Fines will be waived for these days because we’d rather have our patron friends…and staff… safe.)
