Library Services to Day Care Providers

The Dane County Library Service currently provides a book loan and delivery service to licensed or registered daycare providers located in those communities without municipal libraries. This includes the city of Fitchburg, all 34 towns, the villages of Blue Mounds, Brooklyn, Cottage Grove, Dane, Maple Bluff, Rockdale, and Shorewood Hills.

Each month, participants are loaned a collection of 30 books suitable for sharing with children, ages two to five. The collections are checked out to the day care facility on an institutional card and delivered each month. Staff at the facility are responsible each month to have the returning books packed and ready for pick-up prior to the scheduled delivery time. Each center is responsible for lost books or books damaged beyond normal use.

Anyone interested in participating in this program should call 608/266-9297 weekdays, 8:00am - 4:00pm for additional information or emaildclbkm@scls.lib.wi.us.
