Link to May 29 Baraboo News Republic article, "Library moves forward on expansion".Excerpt: The Baraboo Library Board and its Building Committee began work on an expansion of the library building last year. In late April and early May, a team of architects and designers with OPN Architects of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Dorschner Associates of Madison held an interactive design process called a charrette in the library's ground floor program room. The library's staff, governing board and local residents consulted back and forth with them as they hashed out ideas for an addition to the 100-year-old Carnegie library.
The resulting design ideas call for the library to expand to the east with a ground-level entrance between the existing library and its addition.
The outward appearance of the addition would be harmonious with the look of the 100-year-old Carnegie structure that serves Baraboo now, but would not mimic it, the architects said during a public presentation of the designs. The existing entrance would be closed and modified as a decorative detail on the building.
