The mission of RedLou Library is to provide special literary opportunities for individuals living in the greater Viroqua area. We accomplish this by providing a mobile library service for people of all ages. The idea to develop these services is the result of Mary Mulvaney-Kemp’s experience as a reading specialist and librarian.
To serve children by providing services at daycare and other educational facilities.
To serve children and youth who do not have adequate access to reading materials during the summer by providing services at a variety of locations.
To serve residents at assisted-living, skilled nursing and memory care facilities.
To serve individuals who have varying abilities and/or other challenges.
To provide opportunities to check out and return materials in each of the examples.
