Small Stones to Celebrate New Location
MILWAUKEE (Nov. 13, 2006) — Small Stones, a health resource center of Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, will celebrate its move to the V. Richards Plaza in Brookfield and its collaboration with Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops with a lineup of special events during the weekend of Nov. 17-19.
From a ribbon cutting on Friday morning to door prizes, presentations by authors and special speakers, giveaways and refreshments on Saturday and Sunday, the grand opening is aimed at acquainting the community with Small Stones’ unique services.
All of the events are free and open to the public. Small Stones is located at 17145 W. Bluemound Road, just east of the Schwartz Bookshop.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Schwartz Bookshops in this wonderful new location,” said Kathleen Perlewitz, director of access services at Froedtert Hospital. “The weekend will be a great combination of fun and educational activities that the whole family can enjoy.”

Since its launch in 2002, Small Stones has grown steadily as a place to come for reliable health information, and the store eventually outgrew its Watertown Plank Road location. According to Perlewitz, nearly 15,000 people visit Small Stones every year.
The store offers on-site nurse educators, a health resource lending library, health screenings and workshops, a large selection of books, health resources and unusual gifts. Perlewitz said the collaboration with Schwartz Bookshops connects Small Stones to an experienced bookseller that can manage the retail component of the store while Froedtert handles the health education and resource aspect.
