Service Changes
Due to the increasing spread of COVID-19 in Waukesha, the Library will be making some service changes starting Monday, November 16. In order to keep the community and our staff safe, public computers and microfilm readers will no longer be available. Printing, copying, and faxing will still be accessible, and our media collection will remain open for browsing. We ask that you please limit your time in the Library to 15 minutes or less. These changes will stay in effect until further notice. Thank you for understanding!
New Library Hours
We’ve changed our hours! The Library is currently open Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Saturday: 9:00AM – 1:00 PM, Sunday: Closed. These hours will be in effect until the end of the year.
