Winona City Newspaper Database - Maintenance

There have been reported issues with indexing of the Winona City Newspaper database.  It appears there may be a retrieval issue, when Keyword searching, in various years of the databases. 

A full re-indexing has been requested and is in progress, however this will take time over the next few weeks.  

You may continue to have retrieval errors until this re-indexing is complete.  We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to have it back to normal over the next few weeks.

12/11 - Congratulations, graduates!

9/26 Athenaeum at 1pm - Studio Art Glass Movement

Athenaeum, Wednesday, September 26, 2007 at 1:00pm

Please join us on Wednesday, September , at 1pm for the Library Athenaeum titled: Studio Art Glass Movement.

Cathy and Steve Richardson will discuss "the art of blown class was a semi-moribund until the 1960s, when it went through a revival that continues today. Modern glass artists use an array of tools, techniques, and glass formulas that have been either developed or re-invented over the past 40 years. The result has been a dramatic rise in the popularity of glass both in large public installations (Dale Chihuly) and in functional and decorative sculpture. Steve and Cathy will show examples of different styles of finished work as well as descriptions and photos of the blowing process --some of which is done here at their Winona Studio." --SR

Please join us on Wednesday at 1pm on the second floor of the Krueger Library.
