In March, we are looking forward to Lindsborg’s Lucky 13th Våffeldagen Celebration on Saturday, March 25!

At the Library, we will have a wide variety of waffle activities for all ages: a waffle scavenger hunt, waffle crafts to create your own wearable waffle accessories, and a LEGO mosaic of waffle people to assemble! We will also be hosting PBS Kids’ Nature Cat, who heard about Våffeldagen and wants to join in the fun with all our waffle adventurers! Nature Cat will have gifts for children, take pictures, and most of all, looks forward to hearing why you love waffles & Våffeldagen!

Just So You Know: Library Building Project Update

Thank you to everyone who participated in February’s Community Conversations & submitted surveys letting us learn your thoughts about a possible library building expansion and/or remodel project!

At the February 28 meeting, the Library Board decided to make an offer on 109 S Main to allow for a building expansion. The offer was accepted and a contract is now pending. If all details proceed according to plan, the sale’s closing date will be March 31, 2023.

We are currently working with architects to develop remodeling plans that will unite both buildings into a single library service center. There will continue to be opportunities for public input as we progress. If you have not yet completed a survey, we are still collecting those so that we can hear as many community voices as possible in order to wisely discern the remodeling plans that will best serve the needs of our community.

Thanks for your continued support! We are excited to see how we can grow, continuing to provide excellent library services to our community!
