Who We Are
The beautiful McMillan Memorial Library provides
educational resources and cultural programming for
the Wisconsin Rapids area. The Library's collection
of over 120,000 books, magazines, audiobooks, music
recordings and video recordings is supplemented by
an additional three million library holdings of
other members of the
South Central Library System, including Madison
Public Library. South Central Library System
holdings may be reserved on the Library's
on-line catalog. McMillan is the municipal
library for City of Wisconsin Rapids, which provides
the bulk of its funding. The Library serves all
residents of Wood County and significant funding is
provided by Wood County.
The Library also provides many online databases. Enter the bar code on your library card when prompted.
Internet access is available on twenty-four PCs, with DSL service provided on eight of those stations through a partnership with Solarus / Wood County Telephone Company and cable modem service on eight stations provided by Charter Communications. The stations also have word processing/MS Office available. There are dedicated work processing / resume stations in the Job Center area. Call to reserve any workstation.
Wireless Internet access is provided in the Adult Department, Upper Lobby and Library Commons during Library hours. Access is provided courtesy of Charter Communications.
McMillan Library is a national leader among public libraries offering special programming and exhibitions for all ages. In 1996, McMillan was honored by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution for the Library's 20-year tradition of hosting Smithsonian traveling exhibitions. Special events happen year round at the library. McMillan Library is also home to the Heart O' Wisconsin Genealogical Society.
