A federation of thirty independent, member public libraries in five counties form the Winnefox Library System. The State of Wisconsin funds seventeen public library systems in order to provide all residents with convenient and equitable access to knowledge and information resources.

Winnefox leadership provides growth and development of member libraries through long-range planning, cooperation and resource sharing between member libraries. The System also coordinates central support services (avoiding duplication of effort and costs within member libraries), research and development of new services to keep member libraries on the cutting edge of providing quality information to their communities.
