Link to March 27 Stevens Point Journal, "Rosholt, donor hope to move library into firehouse".
Excerpt: To help move the project along, an anonymous donor has promised $50,000 for the project. The only stipulation is that the old firehouse be the site.
Constructed in the 1950s, the 4,400-square-foot building has been used mostly for storage since the Rosholt Fire District built a new fire station 10 years ago. The space that could be used for the new library is about 3,100 square feet, said Kate Zdroik, head of the Rosholt Development Group, which is aimed at spurring economic activity in the 500-person hamlet.
Under the plan currently on the table, the fire station would continue to be owned by the village. Once the library moves into the fire station, the village will regain entire use of the current library, which already doubles as its meeting room and polling station.
