Library Buildings and Spaces Survey - Available Now

Guest post by The Buildings & Spaces Team

Calling all Wisconsin Public Library Staff & Trustees! The Wisconsin Library Buildings & Spaces project is entering its second year. We wish to hear more about what interests YOU so this statewide resource more closely matches our library community’s needs and desires. Your answers will help us refresh and expand the web page content and impact the next steps for the Wisconsin Facilities Assessment! The deadline to complete this survey is June 7, 2024.

In 2023, the Buildings & Spaces web page was created to be a one-stop location to find resources and professional learning about public library building and renovation projects, specifically in Wisconsin. We invite you to check out the on-demand webinars and resources from professionals across the state, as well as a list of recently completed projects from Wisconsin public libraries. Topics include renovation, space reconfiguration, new building projects, and more.

We look forward to providing you with additional professional learning opportunities and resources on this topic.

This project is possible thanks to a team of library system consultants from across Wisconsin: Laurie Freund (SEWI/Bridges Library System), Shauna Koszegi (Southwest Wisconsin Library System), John Thompson (IFLS Library System), and Deb Haeffner (South Central Library System).

Funding was provided from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Sponsors include the Wisconsin Public Library Systems and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
