Plans to build a new Shawano County Public Library on its current site could see a slight expansion if officials can negotiate the purchase of a few adjoining properties.

Kurt Berner, of The Samuels Group, said he recently spoke with people connected with the Frontier and the Bertram Wireless buildings south of the library, 128 S. Sawyer St., Shawano.

Keith Marquardt, director of the Shawano County parks department, may soon have a new office.

For years, Marquardt has used a small house at the Shawano Lake County Park as his office. Now, with the county planning to build a new cold storage warehouse with office space in the front, Marquardt will soon vacate the house.

The Shawano High School class of 1968 recently presented Kurt Krizan, superintendent of Shawano School District, right, with checks totaling more than $5,000 that will be used to equip a media room in the recently upgraded media center at Shawano Community High School.
