How to get a Library Card
All residents and property owners of the community and of adjacent communities in Wisconsin, are eligible for service at no charge. Children under 16 will be required to have a parent’s signature.
How to use the catalog
Using the Catalog, with a library card, patrons can directly request, renew and can check the status of items either checked out or on hold. Patrons can either search just their home library or any or all the libraries within the library system.
How to request an item
You have several options when requesting an item not available in the library. If we or another library within the system already owns the item, you can put a hold on it. A library staff member can place the hold for you or you can go online to the Merlin Catalog system and place your own hold. You will be notified by phone or email when the item comes in.
You can also make a request for purchase. You provide the title and/or author of the item to the librarian. If the librarian feels the item will be popular to others in the area, the item will be purchased. If you made the purchase request, you will be the first to use the item.
If nobody within our library system owns the item and we do not purchase it, we can do a search nationwide using WISCAT and request it for you through inter-library loan. This may take a couple of weeks or more since the item is being sent from outside our system. Talk to your librarian for further information
