April 17, 2018 (MUSKEGO, WI) The GFWC Muskego Woman’s Club is pleased to announce it will donate slightly more than $15,000 to outfit the Children’s Storytime Room at the Muskego Public Library as it undergoes a significant remodel of the children’s section. Library Director, Brittany Larson, and Children’s Librarian, Abby Bussen, recently presented the design and outfit plan to the Club.

GFWC has as part of its mission the support of literacy and development of strong family relationships. A program like this is a perfect fit between the GFWC and our community library.”

The GFWC Muskego Woman’s Club is proud to support such a robust and growing program. Director Larson noted the library felt it was a natural fit to approach the local woman’s club knowing the club’s mission of community service.
