Location Closings

Whenever We're Closed...

Whenever a location is closed, you can continue to use our book drops to return items and LINKcat to place holds, check your record, or renew items you've checked out. You can also check out our always-accessible online collections, ebooks and downloadable audiobooks from Wisconsin's Digital Library, Flipster magazines, and other online collections.
