Turtle Flambeau FlowageLife is Outdoors in Mercer, Wisconsin
From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you’ve returned home.
Whether you choose to explore on snowmobile, ATV, car, camper, bike, boat, skis, or by foot, you are sure to discover the unending, unique fascination of the Northwoods.
Every season offers a new way to experience our natural beauty. The quiet of winter snow is broken by the sounds of spring peepers that fade as the loon’s calls fill the lakes in the summer. Finally, the woods explode in a riot of color in autumn and then the cycle begins again. That’s the beauty of Mercer. You can’t go wrong . . . life is outdoors.
You may think that your kids, neighbors, or librarians are just “good with technology,” but the best technology skill of all is learning how to Google your problem! But in order to find the answers you need, you have to know the terms to search.
Librarian Teresa Schmidt will introduce you to “Tech Lingo 101,” where we’ll review common and not-so-common technology terminology. You’ll learn the difference between streaming and downloading; spam and phishing; your browser and the internet; and much more. We may even have time for a little lesson in which emoji to use when you’re texting your kids… and which ones to avoid!
This is a continuation of the program held on March 8, but you do not need to have attended the first program to come to the second!
All are welcome and there are no requirements to attend. For more information, call the library at 715-476-2366.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Join us for a gathering focused on partnerships and collaboration as we come together to celebrate water, explore solutions, and stay informed about science and research related to our Northwoods and treasured lakes. We invite presenters to join us to share on various topics including but not limited to AIS, water quality, shoreline development, restoration, lake association and community-wide partnerships, grants, local government, fisheries, ecology, terrestrial invasive species, and CBCW.
