Thankfully we have worked with the New Bremen Village Office to reschedule the pool time that was compromised on Sunday night, July 23rd due to weather.

The rescheduled rain date of the New Bremen Pool Party is -  Thursday, August 10^th from 9-11pm at the New Bremen Pool. As we have already distributed prizes and snacks, we will not be able to offer anything more than free pool time.

This rescheduled Pool Time is open to all New Bremen Pool Party #1 Attendees that had already turned in their pool passes on Sunday night (7/23/17). It will ALSO be open to any other Pool Pass Holder that did not yet turn in their Pool Party Pass to either Party. If you have any questions, please call or email the libraries.
