The Sioux Center Public Library is thrilled to announce the receipt of substantial donations towards their upcoming building project. Library Director Becky Bilby says: “We are overwhelmed by the donations – both large and small – that people and businesses have given to us to help make our renovation happen. We know our community will see this as valuable and we are encouraged by their support. These donations are helping to make this dream a reality. “
The building project, when completed, will offer additional study rooms, a large indoor STEM room for kids, an enclosed computer room for teens, and an expanded programming space to accommodate a larger audience and more diverse programs.
The library is still in the process of working with area businesses and fundraising for this project but wants to acknowledge the contributions received thus far.
