We are a small rural public library in Wisconsin, and we need to expand if we want to continue being a crucial support for education, entertainment, and community enrichment. Our current building is 2,800 square feet while other libraries in our surrounding area are almost three times that at over 8,000 square feet. Our $900,000 project would allow us to grow to 7,500 square feet. But this fundraising goal is a stretch for our working class and retired community, and so we are reaching out to our expanded community for donations.

 

The expansion project will add additional space for computers, which are a necessity in an area where not everyone can get internet in their home; community space for studying and working; shelving space for our growing collection; and a multi-purpose room. We want the multi-purpose room to be a place not only where the library can have programs (we just had 45 people sitting on top of each other for a magician last week) but where community organizations can meet as well.  The image below includes a blueprint of our hopeful expansion. The pink shows the proposed addition, with the white representing our current building. 

 

 

I promise you that libraries are still important, even in the age of the internet. We guide our patrons through changing technology; we help them understand personal, professional, and academic problems as they arise; we provide the means to communicate with friends, family, and the greater community; and we allow access to materials that make people laugh, learn, play, and engage. 

 

If you want to know more about the work and programs provided by the Princeton Public Library, check out our website here or our Facebook page. Every donation, small or large, makes a big difference in the life of each person in Princeton, WI. And that is the beauty of public libraries: we are here for every person, young and old, rich and poor, married and single, working and not, and through your help we can continue to serve everyone.
