Board of Commissioners of Public Lands

Loan Program

We are the statewide lender that pays local dividends.

The BCPL operates one of the largest public lending programs in the state. The BCPL State Trust Fund Loan Program finances community and school projects across Wisconsin—and more than 96% of the interest paid on these loans is returned to Wisconsin communities in the form of aid to public school libraries. In some school districts, these dollars represent the only annual investment in new books and other library materials.
