GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Over 20 years after an upgrade was first identified as necessary, design plans for the Brown County East Branch Library have finally been approved.
The Brown County Library Board approved the plans Thursday, roughly a year after purchasing a building for the renovation.
The library will be expanding into the former Titletown Fitness building next to the current Main Street location.
“We’re going to have a large garden space outside of the east branch library. A drive-up window that — since COVID — had been hugely popular at the central branch,” explained Brown County Library Board President Brian Anderson. “And a lot of space to really increase the size of the east branch library.”
The board is currently accepting bids from construction companies for the remodeling project.
There is still no exact timeline for the project, but the board expects to begin construction at the start of the new year.
