New library will open this year.  The Zeise Construction fence is installed and work has begun on the future Brown County East Branch Library at 2253 Main Street. Located next door to the current branch, this conveniently located and familiar site features 16,500 square feet - nearly triple the current library's footprint!
“This significant occasion is long overdue because the public’s needs outgrew the library’s former space, thus becoming no longer relevant for today’s uses,” says Brown County Executive, Troy Streckenbach. “This modern, reimagined space will serve residents on Green Bay’s east side and surrounding communities equipped with the latest in technology and gathering spaces,” Streckenbach continued.
