📖 About Princeton Public Library

The Princeton Public Library serves the municipality of Princeton, Wisconsin, and the surrounding townships in Green Lake County. It is a member of the Winnefox Library System, which unites public libraries across Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Waushara, and Winnebago counties, and uses the WLSO (Winnefox Library System Online) catalog. The library offers free Wi-Fi, public computers, copier and printer access, a fax machine, and a laminator. A standout perk is the loanable family admission pass to the Fond du Lac Children's Museum — checked out like a book on a first-come, first-served basis for three-day loans. The library also streams films through Kanopy, downloads eBooks and audiobooks via Libby/OverDrive, and gives all Wisconsin residents free access to BadgerLink's licensed database portal. A dedicated newspaper archive of Princeton-area papers is available online through the Winnefox Digital Collections.
