History:
McMillan Memorial Library is the current name for the public library of what is now Wisconsin Rapids. As an institution, our roots stretch back to the first public library in our town which was founded 116 years ago. The library has been on East Grand Avenue as McMillan Memorial Library since 1970. McMillan Library was honored with the Wisconsin Library Association's Highsmith Award for creative programming in 2001 for our Coffeehouse series of literature and poetry and in 2002 for our collection of online local history materials.
