Menomonie Public Library 600 Wolske Bay Rd

As part of the Menomonie Public Library’s goal to preserve and foster the written and spoken word, the Library and the Menomonie Writers’ Guild have established the Lake Menomin Writers Series. The Series is designed to present opportunities for writers to speak to the public in a welcoming environment that inspires and informs.

Our mission is to provide authors the chance to speak about their work and the writing life. Our vision is to establish Menomonie and the Library as a place for writers to create, discuss and inspire through words—both written and spoken.

Events are free to the public, and sponsored by a variety of sources, including the Friends of the Library and the Wisconsin Center for the Book.
