The 2025 Summer Library Challenge,

What draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.

April is National Poetry Month and we are celebrating for the fourth year with Poetry Pathway: a collaborative project with Hedberg Public Library, Janesville Parks and Recreation, and you the Janesville residents and poets! 

March is the month for student art.

After much consideration, the library has determined the need to make additional service changes to Hoopla effective March 1. 

The changes are as follows:

Hedberg Public Library is excited to partner with the Wisconsin LEGO® Users Group (WisLUG) for the annual LEGO® Showcase.  The Showcase will be held on Saturday, March 8 from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

February art exhibits at Hedberg Public Library include alcohol ink paintings on glass and acrylic ink and pint on canvas. Both artists use deep, rich colors to craft their beautiful pieces.

WHEN: January 6 through May 24, 2025
