Sugar Grove Public Library: New Facility at 125 Municipal Dr.
Subject
Library
Description
According to the Sugar Grove Public Library website:
"The Sugar Grove Public Library began in 1962 with a donation of slightly under 500 books, and became a public tax supported institution in 1963. The first fully operational Library opened in 1980 in a 6,600 square foot facility. Due to a growing population and the need for space, updated facilities, emerging technology and desires for programming and civic space, voters voted YES for a new facility which opened in the current location at 125 South Municipal Drive in 2009."
"The Library was previously housed in the current Township building and briefly in the Community House."

"Sugar Grove Public Library, a 27,400 square foot library building, replaces a 6,600 square foot facility to better serve the population of Sugar Grove and parts of neighboring Montgomery and North Aurora. This facility is planned to serve the needs of this growing community for the next 10 to 15 years, with commensurate increases in collections, services,and programs. The library site is large enough to accommodate an additional 35,000 square feet of future expansion."
"The architectural concept of Sugar Grove Public Library was derived from a public desire to reflect the rural roots of the community, rather than importing a vernacular design. Working together with the community and key library administrators, Cordogan, Clark and Associates and Leo A. Daly, the library design consultant for this project, analyzed several of the area's historic public buildings and farmhouses to distill an architectural vocabulary that most residents agree is appropriate and uniquely Sugar Grove. Architectural design, detailing, and materials create the sense that this building has long been a part of the community."
