The City of Sterling is working to make the library addition a reality. Preliminary plans have been received from Humphries Poli. We will be working further with the architects to finalize plans. Since the Walsh's challenge to the community in October $301,890.00 has been received in donations. The community's generosity is greatly appreciated.
If you haven't already done so, the city invites you to become a permanent part of the library expansion project. You can leave a lasting legacy and at the same time help to pay for the library addition. Recognition tiles are available for $200.00 - $499.00 (4 x 8) or $500.00 and above (8x8). Donations of less than $200.00 can be made using the donation form and will be recognized separately by a plaque with multiple name plates. The tile and donation forms can be printed and mailed to the library with your donation.
The Sterling Public Library is located at 420 N. 5th Street in Sterling, Colorado. The hours for the library are listed below.
