Wisconsin State Law Library

Join us for National Library Week events, from April 8-12, 2019. This year's theme is Libraries = Strong Communities, and we couldn't agree more with this statement. From providing vital research sources, to helping individuals navigate the court system for the first time, we are proud to serve the Court System and the people of Wisconsin.
