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.

Guest post and photo submitted by Shannon Stoner, Director at Gillett Public Library  Gillett Public Library received a $600 grant from the Rural Technology Fund (RTF).
The Fund provides technology education resources, scholarships, and assistive technology devices to rural students. Their mission also includes supporting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) extracurricular programs. The RTF supports rural communities that may have fewer opportunities for exposure to technology and funds projects in public schools and libraries. Gillett Public Library Director Shannon Stoner said the library will utilize the funds to support the library’s “Full STEAM Ahead” program for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. The program takes place at the Gillett Public Library on the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Gillett Library Community Center from 4 to 5 p.m. For more information, please visit gilpubliclibrary.org or call 920-855-6224.
