There are several options under consideration, including closing the Woodbury library on Sundays and Mondays.
Pat Conley was clear: hours will be cut next year at Washington County libraries. “It is unfortunate,” she said. Exactly how those hours will be cut—and where—is still to be decided, said Conley, director of the Washington County library system. The Washington County Board on Tuesday saw eight options for trimming hours at the nine libraries. (The Stillwater and Bayport libraries primarily operate independently of the county system.) The move is necessary because of a shrinking budget and staff that is stretched thin at the current levels, according to a county memo. Among the eight metro area library systems, Washington County’s ranks fifth among number of open hours and sixth in number of employees. Taken together, county libraries are …

R. H. Stafford and other libraries gear up for six months of events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the regiment's involvement in the Civil War.
Seven score and 10 years ago—or as we would say today, 150 years ago—the Civil War broke out in the not-so-United States. Though the major battles and skirmishes of the war were fought hundreds of miles away, Minnesota played an important part for the Union. “Stillwater and Washington County were the first spots of European settlement in Minnesota,“ said Joseph Manion, Public Services Division manager for the Washington County Library. “Governor Ramsey happened to be in Washington, D.C., when President Lincoln put out the call for volunteers, and Ramsey volunteered Minnesota.” Washington County’s forefathers enlisted in the first state volunteer regiment for the Union Army, the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. The regiment is known for …

Data from the Minnesota Student Survey provides a snapshot of trends in health, safety and academic connectedness in Washington County youth.
Every three years, the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) is given to students in the sixth, ninth and 12th grades. Students answer survey questions anonymously, and the results can be a real eye-opener for parents. For instance, 33 percent of ninth-graders and 60 percent of 12th graders in Washington County have used alcohol one or more times in the past year. Think your senior in high school isn’t sexually active? Think again. About 50 percent of the 12th graders reported having sexual intercourse. The survey results were outlined at a presentation Tuesday at the R.H. Stafford Branch Library in Woodbury. What do these statistics mean for parents? According to Vanessa Schulte, Community Justice Program coordinator of the Youth Service Bureau…

The holiday rush is over... now what? Here is Woodbury Patch's list of family-friendly ideas to keep everyone busy and happy during school vacation.
With a post-Christmas lull hanging over many households in Woodbury, we went out looking for fun things to do with the family during the holiday break from school. From outdoor adventures to events at the local library, there's plenty to do in Woodbury during the coming weeks. Time to Tube If you want to pull your kids away from the tube in the family room, suggest an excursion to Afton Alps for snow tubing fun for all ages. Six tubing chutes are located in the Meadows Area tubing center, all with "wonder carpet" conveyors that will bring the gang back up to the top to start all over again. Snow tubing hours are 4:30-9:30 p.m. on Thursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. (On New Year's Eve, …
