Library Expansion

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.
