A Huge Thank You to Hormel of Algona!

We are extremely grateful for their generous donation of pepperoni. This contribution will help us fill the food boxes not only here in Algona but throughout the entire county. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of families in need.

We are so excited that Whittemore’s Food Box is also up and running! ❤️

If you have driven by the Library in the past day, you may have noticed a new addition outside. A little free Food Box "A Helping Hand" designed to help out community members in need. The funds to build the box were donated by Steier Ag and Kossuth County Public Health was instrumental in getting the box placed here in Whittemore. A special thanks to the guys from Lane & Goodman for getting the box securely up and ready to be used.
The box is empty right now, but we will be filling it soon.
Everyone who needs something is encouraged to take what you need and give when you can. If the box is full, extra donations can be left inside the library entryway. A donation suggestion sheet and a few helpful tips will be posted on the library door.
Please ask if you have any questions about this box, we will be happy to answer them. We hope this box will not only be a blessing to those who need it, but also to those who give.

Attention Veterans!!

It’s Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Screenings can catch cancer early when it’s more treatable. If you have smoked to***co and are over 50-years-old, don’t wait. Ask your doctor about lung cancer screening.



Lung cancer claims the lives of 125,000+ Americans every year. Only a small percentage of individuals get recommended screening tests. Spread the word about National Lung Cancer Screening Day on November 8! https://bit.ly/3ozryBJ
