2020 MCL Summer Reading Challenge:

* June 15th – August 15th *

Summer is upon us and that means it is time for Mukwonago Community Library’s Summer Reading Challenge: “Dig Deeper – Read, Investigate, Discover.” Registration has begun! Despite the pandemic, we are dedicated to forging on with our annual Summer Reading Program, it just may look a little different than in years past. Click HERE to get started or continue reading for full details.

Due to the impact COVID-19 has had on our community, we have decided to support local businesses and organizations that have so generously supported *us* in the past. While all challenge participants will earn a shot at our grand prize — an Orion SpaceProbe Telescope, the majority of all other rewards and prizes will be gift cards and purchases from local stores and restaurants.

We have challenges for four different age groups.  

  • Preschool Challenge for ages 0-4 
  • School Age Challenge for ages 5-12
  • Teen Challenge for ages 13-17
  • Adult Challenge for ages 18+

All About Curbside Pick-up […see more]

curbside-5011672_640

MCL is offering contactless and by appointment curbside pick-up of library materials. Place a hold on library materials and you can swing by and pick them up in the library’s Community Room. We’ll have limited staff so wait times will be a little longer than usual. We’re definitely eager to get you your library materials! Please keep in mind this plan has been designed to provide safe access to the library materials.

Follow these three easy steps to pick-up materials without needing to come into the main part of the library:

Step #1: Place Your Items on Hold

  • Use our website, www.mukwonagolibrary.org to search the CAFÉ catalog for items you are looking for.
  • Or, you can always call us (262) 363-6411, ext. 4 and leave a message. Don’t forget you can send us an e-mail at mukref@gmail.com too.
  • Please remember wait times will be longer than usual.

Step #2: Watch for Your Hold Notification

  • When you receive your hold notification (either via email or text,) please call the library at (262) 363-6411 ext. 3 to schedule a pick-up time.
  • Items will then be placed in the library’s Community Room during the chosen time slot. There will be a slip with the first four letters of your last name and the first initial of your first name attached to your items.

Step #3: Pick Up Your Items

  • There will be tables clearly marked in the library’s Community Room.
  • Your items will be labeled with your hold slip. Be sure to practice the appropriate social distancing if others are picking up during the same time slot.
  • Grab your items and enjoy!

We are not accepting donations at this time. Please hold onto your donations until the library reopens.

 

Please also do not attempt to use curbside pickup as a manner to return materials. This is essential to maintain safe handling of all materials.
