Currently the library has a collection of about 29,000 volumes and serves a population of over 10,000. Unfortunately, the size (10,536 sq.ft.) of the building and limited access to all three levels prevents the collection from growing. Public computers are also limited, 6 in the adult area and 3 in the children's room, due to the age of the building, shortage of electrical outlets and lack of space. According to the Wisconsin Public Library Standards for our population size the library's collection should be 55,000 items.
The library serves 3,000 people a month with over 6,000 registered borrowers and circulates approximately 44,000 items annually. Our public computers average 325 users a month.
The Library is a department of town government, governed by an elected six member board of trustees who are highly committed to the library and its mission. The trustees spearheaded the campaign to make their vision of an expansion/renovation project come to life. They have been aggressively advocating for the library building project.
