Library Board Member Needed
The Black Earth Public Library Board of Trustees is searching for a volunteer trustee to join our team and advocate for the community.
Our primary projects are moving the library expansion project forward, continuing exciting programming, and welcoming a new director to our community.
Trustees should be residents of Black Earth or surrounding townships, energetic and forward-thinking, and ready to steer our library into the future.
To inquire or express interest, call the library at 608-767-4905 or email Carla at chuston@blackearthlibrary.org.

Strangers No Longer: Latino Belonging and Faith in Twentieth-Century Wisconsin
Monday, March 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the Black Earth Municipal Building Meeting Room
For more than a century, Latino immigrants, migrants, and refugees have turned their sights northward to Wisconsin in search of a stable and secure future for themselves and their families. Today, more than a half a million people of Latino descent call the state home. Sergio González, author of Mexicans in Wisconsin (Wisconsin Historical Society Press) and Strangers No Longer: Latino Belonging and Faith in Twentieth-Century Wisconsin (University of Illinois Press), delves into the stories and challenges of these resilient communities, from the farmworkers who helped make Wisconsin America's breadbasket in the mid twentieth century, to the labor organizers who fought for better living and working conditions in the civil rights era, to the everyday families who continue to make space for themselves all across the state today.
