Architect Hired To Draw Up Plans For Lodgepole Library
Lodgepole District hires architect Howard Duncan of Scottsbluff to draft plans for a brick library funded by a $20,000 bequest from the late Ruth Ewing and matching funds from the State Library Commission. The project aims to place a permanent Library named for Nancy Fawcett, with location south of the American Legion building and final approval by the village board pending. The board expects to apply for matching funds soon and to proceed after plan revisions and approvals. Mrs. Ewing’s daughter, board chairman Mrs. James Sterling, has helped push the project forward. The current one room library at the elementary school will move to a permanent site once plans and funding are secured.
