Prairie du Sac Public Library

New Library Community Input

Share your comments!

The Prairie du Sac Library is planning its future home and we want your input.  Offer your insights on the project printing a comment form & returning to the library or the village hall or by completing a comment form online.  Please complete forms by Saturday, February 6th. 

Community Presentation

An open house & community input session was held on January 23rd to share information about the project with the public and to get community input.  Over 100 community members came to this event.  At present, the Village of Prairie du Sac has committed $750,000 towards the project.  Fundraising would need to be completed for any additional costs beyond this amount.

See an exterior tour of one possibility of what the new library could look like. Get excited about the possibilities by visiting photos of other area libraries.

Future Home of the Library

The Prairie du Sac Village Board has appointed a Library Building Committee charged with the duty of working with an architect in the designing of a new library facility which it will recommend to the Village and Library Board.  Members of the committee include: Ray Bolton, Lauri Meixelsperger, Helen Campbell, Christie Bender, Mollie Hoffman, Jon Sandeman, & Lea Culver.  Get excited about the possibilities by visiting photos of other area libraries.  This committee has been meeting every two weeks and exploring the variety of possibilities for the new library at 540 Water St. This property was donated by Culver's Franchising Systems in honor of Ruth Culver.
