Lester Public Library of Rome (Wisconsin) Needs More Room

God's Home column: Once upon a time, there was a library in Rome. (WIsconsin Rapids Tribune, 6/23/2011)

Excerpt: Reading and writing are essential skills that every student must master, if success in life is to follow. And these are the skills that our own Rome library has been promoting for the past 10 years. (Has it really been that long?) Indeed, the citizens of Rome, and of Hancock, Leola, Saratoga and Big Flats have increased the Rome library's card count to 3,300.

The trouble is, the library only legally can hold 30 visitors at any one time. Ouch! Is it crowded in here or is it me?

Is it any wonder that the Rome Library Board is conducting a feasibility study to investigate the possibility of a fundraising campaign to expand the library's current 2,500 square feet by 6,000 square feet or more?
