One Card. Twelve Libraries. Infinite Possibilities.

We invite you to visit any of the libraries at NEW ERA institutions to experience the distinctive collections and information sources easily accessed right here in northeast Wisconsin. This resource network is a gateway to innovative ideas, new ways of thinking and connecting with experts.

The NEW ERA Libraries group was formed in March 2002 to serve four important goals:

  1. Maintain and enhance library services in northeast Wisconsin to students, faculty, staff and community in a budgetary context where the need for cost sharing and cost cutting are important.
  2. Determine areas where current cooperative agreements should be better known to the constituents that the libraries serve.
  3. Determine areas where current cooperative agreements can be enhanced.
  4. Determine areas of need where new forms of collaboration are important.
