Architectural Firms to Make Presentation to Mukwonago Community Library Board

Link to June 23 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "3 to offer Mukwonago library plans".

Excerpt: After hearing the presentations, the board will accept comments from the public from 8:30 to 9 p.m.

The firm selected will work with the community, library and library board to develop conceptual plans and preliminary cost estimates for the proposed expansion.

Library officials have said the expansion is necessary because the library building at 300 Washington Ave. is too small. The building, constructed in 1996, is about 12,200 square feet.

Officials are planning for a 24,000-square-foot addition, according to information posted on the library's Web site.

Expansion of the library has been discussed for years. In 2004, the addition was estimated to cost $5 million, with $1 million to be raised from donations.
