No Business Interruption at the Pauline Haass Public Library

Short an "s", but what the hey.  Maybe she can play at the re-dedication of the library as a municipal entity. (Wisconsin State Statutes 43.52)



Pauline Haass Library will not have to close after funding agreement ends. (Sussex Sun, 6/20/2014)

DPI weighs in.  Town officials have anticipated that the two municipalities would begin negotiations over dividing the assets of the library because the 26-year-old, joint-municipal agreement requires the assets be divided "should termination of this agreement result in the closing of the library." 

However, John De Bacher, director of library development for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, has told Lake Country Publications that the library does not have to be closed unless a court intervened. 

De Bacher said the library can continue to operate if the village of Sussex is willing to provide an operating budget, staff and maintain the library according to state standards.

And that's just what the village plans to do.
