One Possible Message: Don't Settle for Less


Link to August 4 Capital Times announcement, "Public input wanted on Central Library design".

Excerpt: Public input is encouraged during a series of four scheduled public meetings to look at the design plans for the new library, which will cost between $27 million and $31 million.

The meetings all willl be at the Madison Senior Center, 330 W. Mifflin St., beginning at 7 p.m. They will be on Aug. 5, Sept. 9, Oct. 14 and Nov. 4.

"I'm hopeful we'll see high participation in these public meetings so we can hear from the entire community about what they'd like to see in the Central Library," Tripp Widder, president of the Library Board and Foundation, said in a news release. "This is the community's opportunity to weigh in and talk directly with our designers."
