Library Sneak Peak

The Baraboo Public Library unveiled conceptual drawings for the building expansion and remodel project in two public “Sneak Peak” sessions at the library on February 20. The preliminary plans, developed by Ann Dilcher, a LEED accredited architect with Quinn Evans Architects, and Carter Arndt, project architect with MSA Professional Services, give the public an idea of the library expansion design being considered by decision makers. We hope members of the public will view the drawings and give their opinions about how design features and arrangements might improve the delivery of library services and enhance the library as a community resource in Baraboo.

Conceptual designs from the February 20th Sneak Peak sessions (PDF)

Architects will incorporate suggestions and requests that have been gathered from library decision makers and the public to develop one of the conceptual drawings into a schematic design. In April, the draft schematic design will be presented to the public and decision makers for further comment. Based on this input, architects will create a refined schematic design, which will be presented in its final form to the Common Council in May.

Tour of the Library Expansion Conceptual Drawings

We have developed a video guided tour of the architects' three conceptual drawings. Please watch the video and then share with us your opinion about which design would best help the library serve the community. Comment on our Facebook page, on comment cards available in the adult department of the library, or by emailing our director, Jessica Bergin, at jessica(at)baraboopubliclibrary(dot)org.
