Our library makes every effort to collaborate with area public libraries. We feel that a partnership is an important way to build community and share resources. Our public libraries are in the MORE Consortium which is a group of libraries in Western Wisconsin that share resources totaling more than a million items. You can search the online catalog to find materials or find additional information at any of the MORE member libraries.
Please visit your local public library and see what they have to offer. We have made a page with their information for easy reference. Area Public Library Page
Please contact us if you have any questions on services available at any of the public libraries.
