The Walter E. Olson Memorial Library has a new design concept!
Some of you are familiar with our effort to expand and renovate the Olson Memorial Library and have supported the project in the past. For that we are truly grateful!
Others are learning about the needs of the library and its value to the community for the first time. The library is our community's gathering place. It is where people come together to be enriched and inspired.
However, we have outgrown our facility. It is cramped and outdated. Time and nature have taken their toll on its flat-roofed design. Technology is changing our needs and expectations, and libraries must evolve and innovate to meet those needs.
Proposed design concepts under consideration will address these issues. They will double the present library size, increase collection space, greatly improve and enhance technology and internet connectivity, and provide a community center that can serve a multitude of needs.
We encourage you to read the pages on this website which will answer many of your questions. Please feel free to contact any of us for further information.
Sincerely yours,
