The Mercer Library is part of the Northern Waters Library Network, and can order any items in the NWLN Catalog to be delivered for our patrons. We receive deliveries from our partner libraries three times per week.

We are committed to providing low cost printing and copying services, sending or receiving faxes, and offering scanning to email or USB devices.

We have 3 rooms available at no cost to private parties not charging admission for attendance. To reserve a meeting room, call the library at 715-476-2366.

Our WiFi network is unrestricted, and is available to any wireless devices within range. Library computers are available to all patrons. No library card or login information is required for access to either of these services.

The Mercer Library’s lending collections include books, DVDs, books on CD, board games, music CDs, and puzzles as well as other items with no overdue fines.

Our library system offers a free Mail-a-Book service to homebound patrons. This county-funded service allows patrons to request books, audiobooks, movies and music CDs to be mailed to their home.

All residents, property owners, and visitors to the Mercer area are welcome to apply for a library card at no cost. Your card is good at nearly 30 libraries in the Northern Waters Library System.
