History:

The Mayville Public Library started with 250 books in its collection and was housed in a small room over the former Mayville News Building at 26 South Main Street. The library moved a number of times over the years as its collection grew. Thanks largely in part to Mr. Carl Dietze, CPA and attorney, for providing an irrevocable trust in the amount of $50,000 as his contribution to the Mayville Public Library Building Fund, a new library building was possible. On Feb. 18, 1968, the library moved into its new building at 111 North Main Street.

The library currently has over 45,000 items in its collection. The library has adult and children's books, magazines, books-on-tape, videos, DVDs and CDs and internet access and more!. The library is a member of LAUNCH, a nine library consortium (members include: Beaver Dam, Iron Ridge, Johnson Creek, Lake Mills, Waterloo, Watertown, Whitewater and Waupun) and through our computer terminals you can access and request materials from all nine libraries. You can also search and request materials through T.I.G.E.R, which allows you access to some of the libraries in Washington County and the Ft. Atkinson Public Library.

The Mayville Library serves Mayville and the surrounding area to provide materials and services to meet the needs of all our library users.
