SUMMARY:Tie-Dye Party
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for our annual Tie-Dye Party on July 1 from 10am-12pm! Make your own custom tie-dye shirts using supplies provided by the Library right on time to wear during the 4th of July celebrations! \n100% cotton t-shirts will be provided by the Mercer Library on a first-come\, first-serve basis while supplies last. Supplies cannot be reserved or held for attendees. For larger groups\, we encourage attendees to bring their own shirts to ensure that you have all the sizes you need. From past experience and best practice\, we recommend that you use 100% cotton or other natural fiber (hemp\, denim\, bamboo\, or wool). Synthetic fibers are not recommended (polyester or nylon) but may be used; the Mercer Library cannot guarantee the outcome\, quality or vibrancy of the colors\, or the ability for the dye to last after washing. \nFor more information about all of our 2025 summer programs\, please click here or call the Mercer Public Library at 715-476-2366. Thanks to a sponsorship by the Friends of the Mercer Public Library\, all summer programs are FREE and open to the public. \nPhoto submitted by attendee of the 2024 Tie-Dye Party.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Sara Rath
DESCRIPTION:Join author Sara Rath for a discussion of the novel and the true story of Hurley’s 100-year old unsolved “Lady of the Evening” murder around which her novel resolves. Rath will share how she wove Northwoods history through her modern-day suspense story that centers at “The Last Resort” on a fictitious Star Lake. Much of the setting for her novel was inspired by the summer cabin her family visits each year near Mercer. \nAbout the author: “Accidental Summer” is the third in the Star Lake series of novels by award-winning author Sara Lindsay Rath. A native of Manawa\, Wis.\, Rath earned her undergraduate degree in English from UW-Madison and has an MFA in writing from Vermont College. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Wisconsin Arts Board\, the MacDowell Colony\, and the Ucross Foundation.

Married for over 32 years to Del Lamont\, their combined family embraces six children\, 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
