The Gillett Library will hold a community brainstorming session to discuss the new community center/community square project. The session begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 25, in the former BMO Harris Bank building, 204 E. Main St., Gillett.
The library purchased the bank with plans to create a community center and transform the outdoor space around both buildings into a community square. Tentative plans are to do the project in three phases.
Phase 1 will create two meeting rooms in the bank building and add a second bathroom and display space.
Phase 2 will convert the library’s meeting room into more seating for Wi-Fi use, studying and socializing, and shelving for library collections.
Phase 3 will transform the outdoor space around both buildings into a community square. The square could be used for a farmers market, lunchtime or evening entertainment, ice skating in winter, interactive water feature in summer, after-school activities, seasonal events or festivals, etc.
The library encourages area businesses, civic groups and individuals to participate in the planning of the new community space. Call the Gillett Library at 920-855-6224 for more information.
