On September 16, 2024, the Sioux Center City Council approved a bid on the library’s upcoming building project. This project will consist of a large hands-on STEM room, the addition of 3 small study rooms, an enclosed kids’ computer room, and a renovated large programming room. While the contractor will be given some flexibility on the start date, the library has set a firm completion date of May of 2025, in order to prepare for their summer reading program.
This project was originally estimated to have a total cost of $440,000. However, after reviewing the bids and updated furniture information, the total cost for this project will be closer to $647,048.00. The city council did approve moving forward with our project, with the understanding that we are expected to continue fundraising or find ways to cut costs.
Below you will see some pictures that our architect put together of what the new STEM room will look like. You can also see a blueprint of all the areas that will be worked on during this project.
If you have questions on this project, please contact Becky or Heidi in the library. Donations can be mailed to the library to:
