Have you heard the rumors?

The Millstadt Library is indeed looking to build a NEW library!

We have purchased three acres of land east of the Millstadt Primary Center and west of Highway 163, across from the local fairgrounds and sewer and utility lines already in place.

Why build and not renovate our current location? To make it simple, costs. For everything that we will need, not just now, but in at least 20 years from now, our current location is unsuited to provide the adequate room, ADA compatibilities, or the parking needed.

Why now? We need the space. If you've been to any of our events, we usually have to move into the Village Meeting room. Or if we have it in the Library, there's hardly enough room for people to breathe and the noise makes the Library unusable to other patrons.

As of this moment, we are still collecting information about this process and working to move forward.

For more information, please read our New Building Press Release_

Thank you for your patronage and we'll keep you updated as we move forward!
