HOW TO REQUEST A BOOK

Any adult Wisconsin resident can check out books from the Wisconsin Water Library for free. You may check out materials by either visiting the library in person, requesting the materials by phone (608) 262-3069, or for the quickest service, use the library’s Book Request Form.  If an item is not available right away, we will let you know when you may borrow it.


HOW TO BORROW A BOOK

Book Delivery
After we receive your request, we will send the materials to your local public library through the Wisconsin Libraries Delivery Network. Your local library will notify you when they arrive. Just pick them up and return them at your public library. If you live within the area served by the South Central Library System, the materials should arrive in one to two days. If you live outside the South Central area, it could take up to five days.

Loan and Renewal Periods
Each loan period is 4 weeks or 28 days. You may renew any item twice if it has not been requested by another patron.


HOW TO RENEW YOUR LOANS

To renew your checked out items, please send us an email at askwater@aqua.wisc.edu or call us at (608) 262 3069. We are happy to renew your items for you.
