The Rhinelander District Library presents Community Source Book Reviews, an innovative (and anonymous) way to share the books you’ve read and loved or loathed. The reviews cards, available at RDL, are easy to fill out, helpful to fellow library users, and 100% YOU! Whether you’re looking for a new author/genre, your next book, or you have share what a great book you just finished, these reviews have it all, and are available to see in the library. Coming soon, reviews will be posted to rhinelanderlibrary.org. Partnering with local businesses, RDL has a weekly prize drawing from participants’ book reviews. Community sponsors include Child’s Frame Company, Mel’s Sporting Goods, Tom’s Drawing Board, BC Cakes, Tilly’s, and Northern Grounds Coffeehouse. The Rhinelander District Library is always looking for new ways to cultivate a sense of community and foster positive interaction with members. Based on community suggestions, the Community-Sourced Book Review program was created. RDL looks forward to hearing from you!.

An artist reception is an event, typically held at the beginning or at the end of an exhibit's gallery run. During the reception the artist may say a few words, they may give informal tours of the galleries. Attendees are able to view the work and ask questions of the artist. Often a cash bar is open.

Not only have the parks preserved the natural beauty of Northcentral Wisconsin, the parks have also changed to fit the needs of generations of park-goers over the years, to become important cultural spaces as well. Parks have long provided public places for picnics and gatherings and have also become important centers of recreation. This exhibit explores the stories of the Marathon County Parks and the people who made and have enjoyed the parks over the last century. https://www.marathoncountyhistory.org/exhibits/preserved-for-generations Tues-Fri 9:00 am-4:30 pm Sat-Sun 1:00-4:30 pm
This exhibit traces the development of dairying as an industry. As logging declined in the late 1800s, farmers arrived, removed tree stumps and created fields for crops to support herds and families. The exhibit shows how herd improvements combined with electrification and other innovations to increase profitability. https://www.marathoncountyhistory.org/exhibits/milking-time Tues-Fri 9:00 am-4:30 pm Sat-Sun 1:00-4:30 pm
