Kits can be picked up during our curbside service hours on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesdays from 5–7 p.m., and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please call us at 337-4651 if you’re interested in picking up a kit for your family.

You are now able to schedule appointments to use the library internet, computers, and printing services. We have three computers and three bring-your-own-device workstations that are properly socially distanced for your safety. Computer services are available only by appointment on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesdays from 4–7 p.m., and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Contact the library to schedule an appointment at 337-4651 or ontlibr@wrlsweb.org.

The reading challenge runs from June 15 through Aug. 10. Paper reading logs must be returned to the library by Aug. 10, while online reading logs must be completed online by Aug. 10 to be eligible for the grand prize drawing. 

Pick up a Humpty Dumpty-themed summer reading program activity kit during our curbside-service hours. These kits contain fun, themed activities for children. Call the library at (608) 337-4651 to reserve a kit! Unicorn-themed activity kits will be ready for pickup on Monday, July 13.
