The Village of Winneconne Library is one of thirty public libraries from five counties to belong to the Winnefox Library System. Serving a population of over 300,000 residents from Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Waushara and Winnebago counties, Winnefox Library System provides access to materials and services available at all member libraries. Residents within the Winnefox System also have access to libraries throughout the state per agreements with other Wisconsin Library Systems Of the seventeen public library systems in Wisconsin, Winnefox ranks number one in the state in per capita circulation.

The library initiated its new "Paws for Reading" program this spring. Children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade may read to Greta, a friendly and loveable German Shorthair Pointer.

Greta and her handler, Lynn, make a great team. They are fully certified as a therapy dog team and have gone into hospitals to visit people who need to be cheered and comforted. They’ve been doing that for five years! Now, they are spreading cheer and inspiring confidence in young readers at the library.

"When we turn the corner to head for the library, Greta gets so excited. She knows she’s going to the library, and she can’t wait for the children to read to her," says Greta’s owner, Lynn Rogers.
