BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHELLE WILDGEN VISITS Thursday, July 30th at 7:00 PM
Join us for a special author event as we welcome Michelle Wildgen to discuss her novel Bread & Butter, published last year by Doubleday.
Michelle Wildgen is a writer, editor, and teacher in Madison, Wisconsin. In addition to being an executive editor at the literary journal Tin House, Michelle is the co-founder of the Madison Writ-er’s Studio and the author of three novels, in-cluding You’re Not You, which was recently adapted into a film starring Hilary Swank and Emmy Rossum. Copies of Michelle’s books will be on sale courtesy of A Room of One’s Own Bookstore. For more information or to register for this event, visit midlibrary.org/events or email [email protected].
Praise for Bread & Butter: “Wildgen glazes Bread & Butter with delicious behind-the-scenes details that foodies will appreciate. The family drama she serves up… goes down like comfort food.” – Entertainment Weekly “Wildly entertaining. . . Wildgen serves up ro-mantic intrigue. . . along with a generous dollop of satire as sharp as a prep knife. The result is a novel that’s as much about the complex dance of family dynamics as it is about the mysterious world behind the kitchen door – and a divinely delicious read, to boot.” - O Magazine “Three words for you: Food Nerds Unite." – The New York Times Book Review
MEET LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBER: DEB SMITH Term began July 1, 2014
I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin. Our library was the first in the country to offer a preschool story time. My mother took me to story time at the li-brary when I was three. I made my first real friend there, and trips to the library were part of our weekly routine. Reading and writing have always been a big part of my life. I came to Madison in 1977 to attend law school. After graduation I
worked for the Wisconsin State Pub-lic Defender for thirty-two years. I retired and have now taken up fic-tion writing. Libraries are the corner-stone of any first rate city. I am proud that Middleton supports a top rated library and pleased to be part of the Middleton Library family.

Around the World in 15 Days: From Middleton to Timor-Leste Thursday, August 13th at 7:00 PM Library’s Archer Room
In October of 2014, the City of Middleton hosted two government officials from the young nation of Timor-Leste (formerly the Indonesian province of East Timor) through the International City Man-agement Association's Professional Fellows Pro-gram. The goal of the program was to provide inspiration and guidance while imparting how de-mocracy works on the local level in the U.S. In turn, City Administrator Mike Davis traveled to Timor-Leste in March of 2015 to tour the country and meet with local government officials. All costs were paid by the U.S. State Department. Join Mike as he relates his experiences touring Timor-Leste and shares photographs from his trip.
