The Argyle Public Library serves the residents of Argyle and the surrounding area. The Argyle Women's Club established the library in 1915. The village has operated the library since 1923, and it has been housed in the community building since 1924. The Library's collection includes books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, filmstrips, and a variety of other materials. Bound issues of the local newspaper from 1888 to the present are also available. Since the library is a member of the Southwest Wisconsin Library System, library users have access to thousands of other library materials through the inter-library loan arrangement. The library recently received grant money to purchase computers. Users can now have access to high speed internet thru the Southwest Wisconsin Library System. "SEE YOURSELF AS OTHERS SEE YOU"
Historic Argyle has reproduced to DVD, a copy of an original film by itinerant film-maker, Arthur J. Higgins. Filmed around 1938, it features footage or the people of Argyle going about their daily lives. It especially features the school and the children. It also has footage of the old Mud Branch school. Historic Argyle is trying to identify as many of the people in the film as possible and has tentatively identified over 100 of them.
The DVD, "See Yourself as Others See You" is for sale for $10.00 ($6.00 plus $4.00 shipping and handling) from:Historic ArgyleP.O. Box 101Argyle, WI 53504
