In 2024, La Crosse Public Library received a $3 million Flexible Facilities Grant to modernize existing library spaces. Construction will begin this summer! This project is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our facilities, creating more comfortable, functional, and flexible spaces for all community members. Renovations will include new and updated classrooms, small meeting rooms, and computer labs; patron technology and connectivity will be a priority, as will be ensuring fast, secure, and reliable internet access for all users.
With the remodel will come some impacts to our available spaces and collections:
- All meeting and study rooms will be unavailable due to construction until further notice.
- Select library materials will be relocating—ask any staff person for assistance!
- The Creation Space will close May 15. Look for some ongoing creative activities at North and out in the community this summer. We are putting a pause on materials donation to the space until further notice.
We appreciate your patience during this time and look forward to welcoming you back to the improved spaces once the work is completed. For updates or assistance finding alternative meeting spaces, please contact us.
Thank you for your support!
