EAGLE RIVER - The library in Eagle River will see more progress on plans for expansion this year. Board members of the Walter E. Olson Memorial Library recently agreed to a design contract for construction. The members plan to add more than 6,000 square feet to the library, nearly doubling its size.
"This project has included volunteer work of many, many, many, many people in our community for a long, long time," said Library Board of Trustees President Laurie Stoegbauer. "People have been really dedicated to this project and have spent many hours getting to where we are now."
Volunteers have raised more than $2 million dollars for the project to date.
This new plan will allow the library more room for its children's area, young adults section, and conference rooms. Library managers hope to keep costs low during construction.
