News Updates for June 22-28, 2023

The Library will be closed Saturday, June 24th, for Tolono Fun Day events on Main Street.

The Tolono Public Library District is beginning our next strategic planning process. We are asking for feedback to help us determine the ideas and goals of the communities we serve. Our survey is only four questions long and includes an opportunity for additional input about the Library. To take the survey please visit our website’s homepage at tolonolibrary.org and click on the link for the “Strategic Planning Survey,” or fill out a paper copy at our circulation desk. Thank you for helping us serve you better!
