Viroqua New Library Progress Report

Progress made toward new library in Viroqua.  (Vernon County Broadcaster, 10/10/2012)

Excerpt: Erickson said the plan could fluctuate depending on many factors, including the success of fundraising. Erickson said the board has signed a contract with fundraiser Jodi Sweeney to conduct its capital campaign. Erickson said design work needs to be complete to give potential donors something to get behind. 

"It's hard to talk to donors if they can't even picture (the library)," Erickson said. "We need to go through some more of the process before we can even tackle a capital campaign." 

 Erickson said rough drawings of locations of items in the library could become available after Thanksgiving, but things like what the exterior of the building will look like, or details such as fixtures and furniture won't be included.
