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.

The library is seeking input on how we can help preserve, document, and display our community’s history. Join us for “Memory Mondays,” an engaging gathering where local history buffs, community enthusiasts, and curious minds come together to share insights stories and ideas about our local history.
If you have ideas, you are invited to attend! People with questions or personal projects are also invited to attend, ask questions about the library’s services and digitization equipment, and share information.
Memory Mondays will be held on the second Monday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All are welcome! 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.
All are welcome to attend this free event to celebrate the library.
Attendees will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, and soft drinks. The event will be set up outdoors on the library grounds, weather permitting, with online auction items on display inside the library.
Book Basket raffle tickets are on sale now at the library. Eight baskets are available this year and winners will be drawn on Friday, September 20. The extremely popular Dine Around is back! Guests attending the Open House will have an opportunity to buy a wrapped box with a “mystery” gift certificate from $25-$100 to area restaurants, supper clubs, bars and food stores.
