Northern Library Bursting at the Seams
Lakes Country Public Library in northern Oconto County, Wisconsin is looking to raise $1.2 million to expand to nearly double its size. The Oconto County Board of Supervisors voted to provide $300,000 in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act in July, and thanks to the Bond Foundation, Wisconsin Public Services, and other organizations, the library has raised over half of the $1.2 million so far. Community resources are few and far between in this area that serves Lakewood, Townsend, Doty, and Riverview, and the current library facility is not big enough to serve the growing demand. The library is expected to break ground in May 2023, if it gets all the funding by then.
