UPDATE:  While you can't come in the library, our pick-up service is going strong. You can request books, movies, magazines, audiobooks and Launchpads. We have revised the schedules slightly for this week to accomodate patrons. Our hours for the week of May 18 - 22 will be:

MONDAY, WEDNESDAY  2 PM - 5 PM   FRIDAY NOON - 5 pm (due to the long weekend)
​
Patrons must:

Reserve materials by phone or online (phone # 608-326-6211)  Leave a message if we do not answer - there are times we simply cannot get to the phone in time. At least one of us is generally there 9 am to 5 pm, but schedules can change abruptly.

Reserve a time slot - they will be in 10-minute increments to ensure social distancing. If you have reserved online, we will call you and let you know when your materials are available, and to set a time.

Staff will put your materials outside the door at the appropriate time for you to pick up.

You may not just show up at the door and expect to get your materials without a reservation - only one staff member is allowed to handle the bags, so we need to operate in a very organized manner.

Please share this information with family, friends and neighbors who may not have access to our social media and webpage.
The Library Board of Trustees meeting for May 19th will be held via Zoom due to the pandemic.  You will find the agenda on our "Minutes & Agendas" page, and the Zoom information is here:

Give the gift of a brick  Everyone needs something to throw at the TV...  Seriously, The Friends of the Prairie du Chien Memorial Library are helping raise the remainder of the funds needed to pay for the Library construction by selling these personalized bricks which will be installed along the sidewalks in front of the Library.  You can have up to three lines of personalization - dedicate a brick in memory of someone, or to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or Christmas.  You can pick up a brochure with an order form at the Library, or order online: www.thatsmybrick.com/pdclibrary

In compliance with guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services regarding social gatherings, all upcoming events after March 14th will be canceled or postponed until further notice.

So you just finished reading a fantastic book or book series and withdrawals are starting to kick in.  You're starting to get sad because you don't have a clue what to read next. Don't go through a box of tissues or twelve cartons of ice cream! We are happy to help fill the literary void in your life.
