Library Purchases Land

The Racine Public Library Board of Trustees has announced the purchase of approximately 35 acres of land located at Spring Street and Newman Road. The land will be used for the future construction of a second library facility. The $1,199,056.99 price of the land was paid for with library trust funds.

The board will now begin the process of creating a funding structure to provide library service to the residents of Caledonia, Elmwood Park, Mount Pleasant, North Bay, Racine, Sturtevant, and Wind Point, all current users of the Racine Public Library's downtown facility and mobile library.
