Demolition, site work and addition to a library in Black Earth, Wisconsin. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a library; for the demolition of a library; and for site work for a library.
As of June 3, 2024, a feasibility study is underway. A timeline for construction has not been established. The Black Earth Public Library (BEPL) board of trustees invites proposals from qualified architectural firms to develop the initial conceptual design and cost estimates for a library expansion project, with project parameters ranging from an expansion of the current location, the renovation of an existing building, or a new construction project. BEPL opened in December 1990 and shares a building with the Village of Black Earth's municipal office and police department. The 2,560 square feet of dedicated library space was designed to house a collection of books and accommodate the workspace needs of two part-time employees. Our staff has since quintupled, our programming has increased exponentially, and the role of the public library in the community has shifted to encapsulate more than just books. BEPL now offers year-round programming for all ages, multimedia resources, computers, printing services, Wi-Fi access, and more. Based on Wisconsin Department of Administration information, BEPL currently serves an estimated population of 2,142, including the village and surrounding towns. By 2042, the population is projected to increase to 3,700. The original library was built primarily to store and display books. Our shelf space for books is fully utilized and has been for some time. Due to space constraints, BEPL is unable to provide many programs on-site. We share our only meeting space with all other municipal departments. Staff workspace is inadequate and cannot accommodate all staff. The South Central Library System (SCLS), using well-established, empirical standards established by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, has estimated the space needs for our service population. If BEPL were to provide the minimal amount of service for patrons, SCLS estimates a need for 6,121 square feet, approximately 3,500 sf more than the current 2,560. SCLS estimates indicated a current need for 11,645 square feet if BEPL were to expand services to include a 50-person meeting room, public-use study rooms and a dedicated story time room. By 2040, we would need 13,717 square feet to offer a dedicated meeting room, more public seating, a larger staff work space, and optimized special use spaces. BEPL staff and board members recognize the current fiscal situation of our member municipalities. This proposal request is intended to develop a strong understanding of the costs, processes, benefits, and realities of a building/expansion project. The information will be used to further define the scope of the project, provide information to the stakeholders, and organize fundraising efforts. If you have any questions, they must be directed to Bailey Anderson, Library Director, at banderson@blackearthlibrary.org. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
