Good news! You can now reserve up to 100 library items at a time. Items found in the Winding Rivers Library System catalog can be put on reserve and delivered to any of our three La Crosse Public Library locations for easy pickup.

Whether you want to request a hard-to-find title or just want to reserve a copy of a popular upcoming release, our system makes it easy for you to access millions of books, videos, magazines and more. With the new increase in how many items you can place on hold at any one time, you’ll be able to access even more resources from the public library.

We've set up a trial of Kanopy, a video streaming service, and we'd like La Crosse residents to try it out for free. Click on this link, set up an account (e-mail and password), then enter your library card and PIN. Then choose from over 7,000 films- from classics, to indies, to documentaries- and start watching!
