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. Call the library to schedule an appointment at (608) 337-4651 or email ontlibr@wrlsweb.org.

You can pick up and return books during our curbside service hours: 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. Need help finding something? Give us a call, and we’ll help you find the perfect item!
