Welcome to the Matheson Memorial Library! We have programs for all ages and hope you will find something to interest you. Don’t forget to keep an eye on our blog, checkitoutmml.blogspot.com, for upcoming programs, special events, new materials, and news!
Programs begin January 12th and end May 29th. No regular programs during Spring Break – check the blog or call for info on special programs!

If your class or community group would like a children’s tour of the library or a visit from the youth services librarian, please e-mail Jennifer Wharton, jwharton@elkhorn.lib.wi.us.
If you are 13 or older and would like to volunteer in the Youth Services Department, please call or e-mail Jennifer Wharton, jwharton@elkhorn.lib.wi.us, 262-723-2678. We would love to have your help preparing for programs, shelving, and more!
Daycare and in-home care groups of 5 or less are welcome to register for regular storytimes. If you have more children, please contact the youth services librarian.
Younger or older children are welcome at all storytimes! Ages given indicate the age level the program is prepared for; families are welcome to attend. We do ask that parents/caregivers remain in the room with children under the age of 8.
Educators – Big Books are available for checkout for classroom and group use. Check the list of available titles at the Youth Reference Desk.
Check out the Youth Reference Desk for helpful handouts, books dealing with Tough Topics, and reading lists. More bibliographies/reading lists are available in the holders above the juvenile series.
