With the latest order from the Governor and the Department of Health Services, the library will remain closed until at least April 24, 2020, to try and help "flatten the curve" during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rest assured that we are working behind the scenes; cleaning, organizing, starting new projects, until we can get back open to serve you! We miss you all!  Please "like" our facebook page for online resources, Stay at Home Storytime, and helpful information for you and your family during these trying times. Stay well!

The Montello Public Library will be closed, effective at 5pm on Tuesday, March 17, to re-open April 6 if conditions have improved. There will be no programming or events during this time. By closing, we are following the lead of the school district, along with Executive Orders from the Governor and recommendations from the Wisconsin Library Association. This hard decision was made in order to protect our staff and patrons from unnecessary virus exposure.

Montello Public Library Statement on COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Libraries provide essential services for many people. Often, libraries are the only source of public computers/internet and meeting places for social services in our communities. However, we are fully aware of the risk factors involved with being a public space.
