One-on-One Computer Training & Assistance

The Prairie du Chien Memorial Library offers one-on-one computer training and assistance for patrons at no cost by appointment! By offering this program, the library raises awareness of the importance of the public library in providing free public access technology and training. Through the effort, we can build stronger communities and stronger libraries. Please stop and speak to a staff member on how we can help you enhance your computer skill set and literacy!

It's all about the format...

I talked to a couple of people recently who didn't know we carried DVDs, so I thought I would do a quick report on the wide variety of formats we have available for you - and how truly valuable your library card is.

In video formats, we have DVDs, both entertainment and documentary, for children and adults. There are nearly 4000 DVDs for your use, from classic movies

and television series to current films and award-winning documentaries. We will very shortly be adding an exciting new video format for children, the Playaway View.

We also carry audio books in CD and MP3-CD formats, as well as Playaways, which hold an entire book on a tiny unit you can carry in your pocket to listen while you walk, run, bike, garden or almost any physical activity.

We give you access to thousands of ebooks, downloadable audio, video and music - without charge, as long as you have a library card in good standing.

Of course, we still offer traditional print formats in regular and large print. We have books, newspapers and magazines, including children's periodicals. Anything we don't have, we can usually get from another source in our library system or from the state-wide system - just ask!
