Flea market creates “I read a lot,” said Marten, one of 12,000 Fitch- camaraderie burg residents who had a library card in another community before the library was built, based on statistics given by library supporters in 2009. Page 7 Marten was on hand when that changed, on June 29, 2011, with the opening of Fitchburg’s own library. Three years later, she and her two grand- Sports sons were back to celebrate the building’s third birthday. “I think (the library’s) what has pulled this town together,” Martens said. “It’s become such an important part of our life.” Becoming an important part of community life is what the ultimate goal for the library was, in a city that has no downtown and no school district of its own, said library board member Pauli Niko- lay.

While many think of classic, hardcover books Page 14 when they think of a library, in Fitchburg it’s much more, whether a meeting place, a fun pro- gram for children or using the computers to check Business email. But for those most heavily involved, from Library Board members to director Wendy Row- son, their work is far from over. They still have much to do to reach the entire Fitchburg commu- nity, especially those who might not have a way to access the Lacy Road facility. “How do we create more and more partnerships and relationships?” Nikolay said. “That is criti- cally important, because we still have people who don’t know there’s a library.” A long road Sandwich shop Before a 2008 referendum that approved fund- brings new flavor Photo by Samantha Christian ing for the library’s construction (and even soon David Yi, 12, of Fitchburg, reads a comic book in a bean bag chair while Danielle Scott, left, and Nina Kajian, 13, after), it wasn’t always clear Fitchburg would of Verona, right, search through the stacks in the teen section Tuesday at Fitchburg Public Library.

  • THE SEARCH for the CHAIR, BERBEEWALSH DEPARTMENT of EMERGENCY MEDICINE Madison, Wisconsin
    THE SEARCH FOR THE CHAIR, BERBEEWALSH DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE Madison, Wisconsin The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health invites applications and nominations for the position of chair of the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine. The Opportunity Over the past decade, the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) has established an exceptionally strong financial, operational, and administrative foundation. The second chair in the department’s history will have the opportunity to lead a proven team that is poised for growth, dedicated to providing optimal and outstanding patient care for individual patients and families, and committed to developing tomorrow’s leaders in emergency medicine. Today, the department is home to more than forty faculty, including faculty with dual certification in pediatrics, critical care, and palliative care. The emergency medicine residency program welcomes 13 residents per class and has hosted up to nine fellowship programs per year. A clinically skilled and stable advanced practice provider (APP) pool is integrated seamlessly into the department, taking on a variety of learner, provider, and administrative roles. Together, the faculty, residents, and APPs staff four emergency departments (EDs): the adult and pediatrics, burn and trauma, level I ED at the University Hospital; the American Family Children’s Hospital ED; The American Center ED on the east side of Madison that is adjacent to a planned $255 million expanded hub for specialty care; and the William S. Middleton Memorial Veteran’s Hospital ED. The department’s providers deliver true emergency care as part of an operationally efficient health system. Approximately more than 90 percent of the patient market is insured, and therefore lower-acuity patients have robust urgent care centers as alternative options to the ED.
