Nestled in the heart of Denmark, Wisconsin, Plumfield Living Books Library is a private lending library devoted to cultivating a love of truth, goodness, and beauty through living books. With about 10,000 carefully curated titles, we serve families, educators, and lifelong learners who are passionate about literature-rich education.
We are proud partners with Biblioguides. All our library patrons have a Biblioguides membership included in their annual fee. You can find our Partner Guide information here: Plumfield Librarian Account.
At Plumfield, books are just the beginning. Our vibrant community enjoys a variety of enrichment opportunities, including book clubs, handicrafts classes, and a creative writing workshop.
A note about the cover banner of this website: the artistic rendering of our library was done by an illustrator from the American Essence magazine when our library was featured in the Summer 2025 issue. Used with permission and gratitude.

Interlibrary Loan
Many of you have asked when interlibrary loan (ILL) will be available—and we are happy to say: right away in beta mode!
This is a brand new endeavor for us. While large public libraries have professional systems in place, we are creating our own from scratch—something we don’t believe any other private lending library has done. Because of that, we kindly ask for your patience as we work out the details and improve the process.
