ANTIGO - The Antigo Public Library can help high school students better prepare for college.
The library's page program helps students become familiar with all of the library's resources. The students get paid to work at least 12 hours a week during the school year. They have a lot of responsibilities like shelving books and helping the librarians.
Librarians think getting them familiar with library will help them succeed in college.
"It's surprising how many kids go to college freshman year and they don't understand how the Dewey Decimal system works," says Children's Librarian Jackie Rammer. "They don't understand how to find a book in the library. Getting experience at a small library, such as the Antigo Public Library, will help you."

A defendant argued evidence of a previous consensual relationship with the victim should be allowed in court.
But the Supreme Court said evidence of a previous relationship falls under the state's rape shield law.
