A Heart Full of Manners
We’re pleased to announce a special visitor to our summer reading program. Local author, Daynah Richert, will be visiting our outdoor pavilion to host a gardening activity and will be reading her book titled A Heart Full of Manners. 

​Daynah currently lives with her husband Jeremy and their two-year-old son near Pulaski, WI. The idea for Daynah’s book started as a list of what was important for her and Jeremy to instill in their young son and grew into a full-fledged book over the course of a few months. Daynah’s book is published with a Wisconsin based publisher, Orange Hat Publishing, and available for purchase on sites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more.

Where: Gillett Public Library Outdoor Pavilion
When: Thursday, June 3rd
Time: 10: 30 am– 11:30 am
What: Attendees will plant a flower seeds to take home while listening to the reading.

We look forward to seeing you there! Please reach out to the Gillett Public Library with any additional questions.
