ABOUT DOOR COUNTY LIBRARY Community libraries within Door County, Wisconsin have been active since 1866. In 1953 several libraries combined to become branches of the Door County Library. Currently there are seven branches: Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Forestville, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove, and Washington Island. The main library in Sturgeon Bay also houses the MILLER ART MUSEUM. Visitor or resident, everyone is eligible for a Door County Library card; there are no age or residence restrictions. The Door County Library is affiliated with over fifty other Northeast Wisconsin libraries in the Nicolet Federated Library System (NFLS) and the Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS).
Created in October, the monthly Play Reading Club, based out of the Sturgeon Bay location of Door County Library, is part of the library’s program of book reading clubs with a focus on dramatic literature. Each month, much like a book club, participants discuss a play that they’ve all read in advance.
A limited number of scripts can be checked out of the library, and a reference copy will be available for reading in the library. No advance sign-up is required, so everyone is welcome to join.

As we get ready to ring out 2022 with A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A LIVE RADIO PLAY, we’re excited to share our final Community Partner for the year: Feed and Clothe My People. As with all of our productions in 2022, the first preview performance of the show will be “Pay-What-You-Will”, with all proceeds benefiting our community partner!
Learn a bit more about this great organization below:
Feed and Clothe My People (FMP) is a charitable organization formed in 1982 by Bev Hogan, Bev Knutson and Reverend Burke Johnson for the purpose of providing sustenance to local residents in need.
The program was initially designed to meet emergency needs only. As the number of residents in need of food and clothing increased, so had the scope of required services. As a result, it was decided that having a single location for the operation was necessary to coordinate activities between the various programs. In addition, the Board of Directors was expanded and the search for a new location commenced to increase operational efficiency and bring all facets of the program under one roof. After an exhaustive search, the Board purchased the old skating rink on 14th Avenue. With a few bequests and donations specifically designated for permanent relocation as down payment, the FMP organization was able to secure a mortgage and the new building opened for business in July of 2000. In summer of 2004, FMP of Door County joined Second Harvest, now known as Feeding America, which is a national food distribution center that sells food to pantries like ours at far below market prices. On August 31, 2004, due to a generous donation, the mortgage debt was officially retired. The building now belongs to Feed and Clothe My People.
Our mission is as strong as ever! A great share of our success depends on donations from those who can assist us financially, as well as through various food and clothing contributions. We wish to thank all those who have supported FMP in the past and we look forward to meeting and exceeding expectations and keep our founder’s dreams alive and well.
