📖 About Middleton Public Library
Middleton Public Library has been a cornerstone of Dane County's western suburbs since its founding, joining the Dane County Library Service in 1966 and the South Central Library System in 1975. A $1.07 million renovation completed in March 2004 doubled the lower level and brought the building to 32,000 finished square feet. The library is a member of the SCLS consortium of 53 public libraries across seven Wisconsin counties, giving cardholders access to a shared LINKcat catalog with millions of items. A 3D printer and digital creation tools round out a collection that spans print, digital, and hands-on learning. Extended Mon–Thu evening hours make it one of the most accessible public libraries in the Madison metro area.
