Wisconsin counties that participate in public library systems are responsible for providing library services to county residents who reside outside of communities that maintain their own libraries. Because Outagamie County is a member of the Outagamie Waupaca Library System (OWLS), it is required under Wisconsin Statutes Section 43.11 to engage in regular planning to ensure that county residents have access to adequate library services.
The current 5-year Waupaca County Library Service Plan will expire at the end of 2024.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors has appointed the OWLS Board of Trustees to serve on the County Library Services Planning Committee.
Comments or questions for the committee should be submitted via email to bshipps@owlsweb.org.
