1980 Library Addition

In 1978 the taxpayers of Hartland School District supported two referendums for a .3 mil library operational tax and a $950,000.00 bond issue for the construction of a 9,400 square foot library addition.
May 17, 1979, was the Library's groundbreaking ceremony for the addition. The program, led by head librarian Sandra Scherba, was held at the site of the new addition, just north of the original building.
On September 8, 1980, the library proudly opened the doors to its new addition welcoming the entire Hartland community to enjoy the new and remodeled facility. The dedication of the new building on November 23, 1980 was truly a gala occasion with over 200 people attending.

Traveling Book Service
Beginning in 1935 traveling book service was given to each of the 12 rural one-room schools twice a month. Adults in the community were also reached through the circulation of books at P.T.A. meetings.
Through summer vacations the librarian drove the book trailer each month to the one-room schools and outlying grocery stores where the neighborhood children congregated to choose their recreational reading.
