Perhaps. Wisconsin Statutes s. 43.60 (3) provides that whenever a county appropriates funds for a municipal library equaling at least one-sixth of the amount appropriated by the municipality, the county may appoint a library board member to serve in addition to those appointed by the municipality. Two board members may be appointed when the county appropriates at least one-third the amount appropriated by the municipality.
