Good morning, Janesville.

Hedberg Public Library is hosting its annual Banned Books Giveaway today — visitors can take free books that have been challenged or banned.

The Wisconsin DNR said Japanese stiltgrass was found in Dane, Grant and Walworth counties after it was first seen in Rock County this summer—experts say the invasive plant can hurt forests by changing soil and reducing animal homes.

The Wisconsin DNR is accepting orders for tree and shrub seedlings available for planting this spring; orders were batched on Oct.

6 and a minimum order is (300 seedlings) with several species offered. Customers may order online or mail a printed form to Griffith State Nursery (473 Griffith Ave, Wisconsin Rapids) to get reforestation advice.

Two groups with opposing views will protest at the Marvin W.

Roth Pavilion in downtown Janesville’s Lower Courthouse Park on Oct. 18—each group saying it will remain respectful until provoked.
