The Necedah Village Board approved exterior design plans for the new building for Necedah Community Siegler Memorial Library at a special meeting at Village Hall Monday night.
"The exterior has been approved," said Roger Herried, village administrator. "The interior has been approved on concept."
The board was presented with a conceptual design plan for the building’s interior layout, with a more complete floorplan coming soon for full approval.
"We’ll be doing construction drawings Feb. 15," he said.
The planned interior layout will include a conveniently located circulation desk, a central workroom and an expanded computer section relative to the current library building, according to Herried.
The new building’s floorplan has been designed with family library use in mind.
"All of the library has a layout that, if you’re a parent, you’ll be able to see everywhere and everything."
With the schematics and designs put onto paper and approved by the board, the village expects to start taking bids for construction in early to mid-March.
The village hopes to then set the bid date for late March and break ground soon after. If all goes according to plan, the new building should be up and running sometime this fall, according to Herried.
There is, however, one uncertainty remaining with the progression of the new library building plans — the village is still looking for the final 15 to 20 percent of the funding required for the $1.3 million project.
"We’re still in need of donations," said Herried.
The Necedah branch of the Bank of Mauston and The Necedah Bank have accounts setup for tax-deductible donations to the library fund.
Herried remains confident that the funding will come "now that people know this thing is going to be here and it’s a reality."
For more information about the library or how to donate, call (608) 565-2261.

bdc Beaver Dam girls basketball coach Tim Chase knows the value of having a healthy Erika Chitko back on the floor.
“She’s such a solid player for us,” Chase said. “She does a little bit of everything.”
In her third game back since an ankle injury, Chitko harassed Wisconsin Lutheran Friday night to the tune of 12 points, nine rebounds and five steals.
“It’s getting better,” said Chitko of her ankle. “It’s almost 100 percent. I’m starting to trust it more.”
Her effort helped fifth-ranked BD earn a 56-43 Little Ten victory. BD now holds a two-game edge in the conference race as Oconomowoc was upended Friday by West Bend East, 46-36.
Chitko and BD (15-1, 8-0 LTC) wasted little time against the visiting Vikings (7-7, 4-4), bolting out to a quick 11-2 lead. Many of BD’s baskets early on were in close range and assisted by Cady Roedl, who had nine on the night.
“Cady’s really good at faking the ball one way and getting the defense to move,” Chitko said. “Then she’ll go right to you for an easy basket.”
When the Vikings began collapsing inside, BD went outside to Allie Chitko. The junior hit a pair of 3-pointers and added an old-fashioned, three-point play as BD claimed a 35-21 halftime advantage.
“Our offense was more in sync tonight,” Chase said. “We tried to open things up a little more.”
About the only stretch where BD struggled was late in the third and early in the fourth quarter. With BD leading by 20, Wisconsin Lutheran switched to a full-court press and forced six turnovers in the final quarter.
By comparison, BD had just eight over the first three.
“We’re doing a lot of things right and we’re excited about that,” Chase said. “But we also know there are things we can work on.”
Kaitlyn McIntyre continued her solid play, leading BD with 15 points and adding five rebounds. Meagan Mazur added eight points and Kalyn Gebhardt chipped in seven.
Jordan Fischer led the Vikings with 12 points and Jinny Curtis added 10.

Head Reedsburg football coach Brian Pottinger addresses the crowd Sunday at the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association all state banquet at Lambeau Field. The award is co-sponsored by the Green Bay Packers, which named a coach of the week throughout the regular season.
The Packers will make a $2,000 donation to Reedsburg High School in recognition of Pottinger’s honor. The Beavers knocked off West De Pere 34-27 for the Division 3 state title at Camp Randall Stadium.
It was the second straight trip to the state finals for Reedsburg. Pottinger is the first coach from the Badger North Conference to be named the WFCA coach of the year. Pottinger recently completed his 17th season in the coaching profession, the last four of which have come as the head coach at Reedsburg. The Beavers finished the 2009 season with an 11-3 record, capped off by a 34-27 win over West De Pere in the WIAA Division 3 State Championship at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on Nov. 20.
