Guidelines: (click here for a printer-friendly version)

  • Boxes may be borrowed by adults working with groups of children, such as daycare providers, storytellers, teachers and library staff. Items in boxes are not to be used by a single child or by a group of children for their entertainment, but only by adults in a group setting with children.
  • Boxes are checked out for 14 days and are not renewable. Boxes may be reserved by calling MCPL Children’s Division at (715) 261-7220 or by filling out a reserve request form. Reservations may be made as far ahead as three months beyond the current month.
  • Damage and loss of materials will be charged to the patron.
  • Boxes will be sent out to the branches on their van deliveries or may be picked up by the patron at the Children’s Division desk.
  • Promptness in returning the boxes is ESSENTIAL and must be done through the library van or at the Children’s Division desk. A late charge of $1.00 per day per box will be assessed. Late fees of $.10 per item per day will be charged for missing items.
  • Boxes must be used and stored only in non-smoking areas.
