Happy National Library Week!

Happy National Library Week! We like to think of every week as being a time to celebrate libraries, but in honor of the "official" week, we're going to zero in on some fun library-themed picture books from our library and others in Rock County.

If you're interested in one of these books, you can order it by signing in to RockCat, the library's online catalog, or you can always give the library a call at 608-882-2260 and we'd be happy to put it on hold for you.
