REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Library Updates
PREPARED BY: Steve Thiry – Library Director
REPORT DATE: October 4, 2018
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
No additional comments to this report ___________________________________

EXPLANATION: The purpose of a library is to inspire, educate and build communities by
providing information programs and services that bring people together through learning and
enrichment activities. These activities develop deeper understanding of today’s world and equip
community members with tools to make better decisions leading to healthy and successful
communities. This heavy undertaking is in essence the message within our mission statement:
Inspiring and supporting lifelong learning and the love of reading.
4,490 residents have a library card. Little Chute Library had 40,447 visits through September. The
library may be the first and sometimes the only impression many of these visitors have of the
village. In effort to best serve our resident by providing updated and comfortable library spaces
and to market the educational and enrichment values of the community to its many visitors I
recommend the Village consider library updates to address windows that indicate loss of
efficiency, replacement of worn carpeting in the children’s area and texture and paint walls.
Windows and walls should be complete prior to carpeting replacement to prevent accidental
damage. The 2018 CIP had scheduled carpet replacement at $50,000.
D & M has provided a quote for carpet replacement for the youth area at $17,471, The current
young adult room at $4,699 and the remaining public areas at $22,242.80
Tri City Glass has previously provided a quote of $16,200 for window replacement.
After speaking with Dave Neumann and reviewing recent texturing costs I propose wall texture
and contingency of $11,630.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Village Board to authorize the payment of the $50,000 for library updates. Including carpet
replacement in the youth and young adult areas, replacement of all windows and texture of
walls.
