EXPANSION (Bid Update)
The current space, last enlarged in 1991, is limited both in regards to community and programming needs but also lacking space for housing our material collections. The City of Delavan, in securing a Rural Development USDA loan (at 2.5%) recently received approval of the expansion plans, meaning bids will be available for contractor submissions. Bid documents are available on the City of Delavan beginning April 7, 2025 and will close at 10 a.m. on May 7, 2025.

TAKE ACTION!
On March 14, an Executive Order defunding and attempting to eliminate the Institute of Museums and Library Servics (IMLS) took effect. IMLS is the only source of federal funding of libraries and its pending elimination places crucial services at risk. Federal law requires IMLS to provide support to public libraries, but that support is currently only guaranteed through September 2025.
