Link to May 24 Wisconsin State Journal article, "Cottage Grove's library plans put back on the shelf".Excerpt: Cottage Grove has dissolved its Library Board, signaling that the community will likely be years without a permanent place to check out books.
"Because of economic times, the board felt that it really wasn’t the time to be actively pursuing a library in Cottage Grove," said village administrator Kim Manley. "I don’t believe that means our board is not in favor of a library."
In November, Cottage Grove residents rejected a referendum to build and equip a library on just under seven acres near Glacial Drumlin School, purchased by the Library Board. The proposal on the ballot was for an 18,000-square-foot library that would cost just over $7 million.
