Own a Piece of Library History!

This spring, the picture books will move into new shelving and be re-organized by topic, or "neighborhood." It will be easier than ever to find the perfect book to check out.

If you would like to own a piece of Library history by purchasing one of the "retiring" picture book bins, please contact Circulation Supervisor, Kelsey Butterfield, at kbutterfield@oconomowoclibrary.org or (262) 569-2193, ext. 202. Suggested donation is $20 per bin. Please reserve your bin today for pickup later in spring.
