Our Mission:
The Mission of the Ted & Grace Bachhuber Memorial Library is to provide people of all ages and backgrounds in Mayville and the surrounding communities free and impartial access to a broad range of information resources and services and to be a hub of lifelong learning, cultural enrichment, and community engagement.
Idea Statement:
A library is like the pages in a book, each containing a different story or piece of knowledge, collectively forming a rich tapestry of information that invites exploration and discovery.

History:
Founded in 1904, the Mayville Public Library began with 250 books in a small room above the former Mayville News Building at 26 S. Main St. As the collection grew, the library moved several times. A generous $50,000 irrevocable trust from Carl Dietze, CPA and attorney, to the Library Building Fund made a permanent home possible, and on Feb. 18, 1968, the library opened in its new building at 111 N. Main St.
Since October 2023, the library has been located in a new, modern building at 234 N. John St. Our collection includes more than 60,000 items, including books for adults and children, magazines, eBooks, audiobooks, DVDs, and CDs, plus internet access and Wi-Fi.
As a member of the Monarch Library System, an online catalog shared by Dodge, Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and Washington Counties, we offer access to materials from all 32 member libraries, which you can request right from our computer terminals. The library serves Mayville and the surrounding area, providing materials and services to meet the needs of all our users.
