The first library in Poy Sippi was located on the second floor of the old Poy Sippi school. When the old school was replaced, the library moved to its present location in the former first and second grade classrooms.
The Poy Sippi Library is a vital and free community resource, providing everyone in the community opportunities to explore, discover, learn, grow, and dream. Its mission is to promote literacy, advance lifelong learning, and contribute to the development of an active and informed community of citizens. The Poy Sippi Library strives to maintain an awareness of new developments in this age of information. When feasible, the Library makes an effort to implement new technology and services in ways that make them equally available and accessible to all citizens in our area.

Reserves - "Put it On Hold, Please!"
Items placed on hold come in much faster with the strength of 30 Winnifox libraries behind them. If the item you want is not on the shelf, you may place it on hold. It's easy, you can request items by visiting our website, www.poysippilibary.org, use the catalog computer in our library, or ask one of the staff to place the hold for you. You will be notified by telephone when your library materials are available.
Interlibrary Loan
If the Poy Sippi Public Library does not own the material you need, ask and we will borrow it from another library in the Winnefox Library System. If an item is not available within the system, we can borrow the material from other libraries throughout Wisconsin and beyond. Materials placed through an interlibrary loan are sent directly to us for your use. We may not interloan materials. Anyone with a valid library card may request materials through Interlibrary Loan.
