EAU CLAIRE â While leaders of the community campaign to raise money for the expansion and renovation of Eau Claireâs public library are pleased to be nearly 60% of the way toward their goal, they also recognize time is running out.
The Story Builder campaign is seeking about $3 million more in donations for the planned $18.5 million project at L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library before bids are scheduled to go out in March and construction is set to begin in May.
âSeeing the generous financial support lent to the Story Builder campaign has been amazing,â library director Pamela Westby said in a news release. âWe canât wait to launch the reconstruction this spring and get going on a new era for this library that will help build a better future for the Eau Claire region.â
