We’re open!! Yes, our Leffler street location is now open! Normal library hours: 9 to 6 Monday through Friday and 9 to noon on Saturday. Please come visit and see our new temporary library and say hello to our wonderful and helpful staff. Our door is located around back!

Please Note: The front of the Leffler street location is still an active hard hat required construction zone as our contractors continue work on the building for the new city hall offices. It is not safe for the general public, please use the back door to enter the library. It is well marked. Thank you for this respect for our building contractor and subcontractors. 

Governor Evers recently announced $115 million in grants to 35 local and tribal communities for new construction and renovations of public libraries and community centers. Among the recipients, the Dodgeville Public Library was awarded $4,250,000, which will assist in the long-awaited renovation and expansion of the library.

This funding will allow the library to significantly expand its existing space, including children’s program space, a business center, and classroom. The project will help us provide remote learning support, telemedicine access, and workforce development. This project has been a goal for the library for a decade. We are thrilled to have this funding, which will transform the library into an even greater community resource.

We are incredibly grateful to Governor Evers for his continued support of public libraries, and we are excited to bring these plans to life. We also look forward to collaborating with the City of Dodgeville on this exciting project and appreciate your ongoing support as we work to create a library that meets the needs of future generations.
