Small Street Journal: July 1, 2016

7/1/2016

 
L.E. Phillips Memorial ­Public Library in Eau Claire recently introduced its new BookBike service, which is a custom-built trailer pulled by a bicycle and holds about 100 items. It is essentially a very small library branch on wheels. Customers will be able to check out materials, sign up for a library card, get answers to reference questions, learn how to download digital content and so much more. While book bikes have been gaining popularity nationally, the BookBike is only the second known book bike service in Wisconsin; Madison Public Library rolled out their Spoke-n-words book bike service last fall. Spearheading the BookBike project were Director Pamela Westby, Youth Services Manager Shelly Collins-Fuerbringer, Reference Associate Peter Rudrud, and Library Board Trustee Bob Eierman, who also chaired the Eau Claire Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Commission for several years. In addition to visiting the Downtown Farmers Market, the BookBike schedule also includes stops at the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series in Phoenix Park and select Summer Cinema events on the west lawn of Haas Fine Arts Center on the UW-Eau Claire campus. Several special events, including the United Way Block Party in Chippewa Falls and the International Fall Festival in downtown Eau Claire, are also planned. The complete schedule can be found at www.ecpubliclibrary.info/bookbike/.

David Hopkins of Woita & Associates Business & Retirement Planning in Altoona recently earned the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP) designation. Eligible financial planners must have other certifications in place as well as several years of documented professional experience in order to apply to take the courses and pass the exams required to obtain the designation. RICP candidates receive specific training focused on topics such as converting savings to steady income, choosing when to claim social security benefits and company-sponsored retirement programs, how to cover health insurance, long term care, and protect retirement income. Hopkins joins an elite group of financial planners in obtaining this designation with only a few local individuals having earned it and only a few thousand nationwide possessing the designation.
