Ripon Public Library Renovation and Fundraising Efforts Continue
Ripon Public Library Renovation and Fundraising Efforts Continue
Ripon, WI – The Ripon Public Library is proud of the community support that has been received for its exciting renovation project, titled “Thinking Outside The Books”. There are exciting plans to transform the entire library campus into a dynamic destination location offering indoor, outdoor, and creek-side features that will put our city and library on the map!
The board has recently learned of some important prioritized maintenance items that need proper attention due to the age of the physical building. Having a physical space that operates optimally and safely is of utmost importance to both library staff and the entire board of trustees. Dedicating resources to these prioritized maintenance items has caused a slight delay in our fundraising efforts. We are working through a timeline and plan for making these improvements and dovetailing them with the renovation plan. Meanwhile, the library is in the process of investigating and applying for grants that would facilitate necessary improvements as well as the renovation.
It is of utmost importance to the entire library – staff and trustees alike – to do right by our donors, who have so generously and enthusiastically supported the Library on this fundraising journey. We hold to these following commitments as the foundation of the renovation:
- Continually act as a welcoming, vital community hub that improves and prioritizes equal access to all.
- Actively investigate new avenues for adding value and services.
- Proudly evolve by anticipating the needs of our ever-changing community.
Having a facilities master plan which folds into the existing strategic plan and renovation plan will inform the exciting changes on the horizon for the Ripon Public Library. The board thanks you for your continued support of the Ripon Public Library.
To contribute, please visit https://riponlibrary.org/renovation/ or send a check, made out to “Oshkosh Area Community Foundation” with “Ripon Renovation” on the memo line, to Ripon Public Library, 120 Jefferson Street, Ripon, WI 54971.

Green Lake, Wis. (April 08, 2024)—String band Deadgrass will play Green Lake, Wisconsin’s Thrasher Opera House on Friday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m. Guests will enjoy that Deadgrass celebrates and interprets Jerry Garcia’s music, drawing from Old & in the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band days, and The Grateful Dead.
Matt Turk and C Lanzbom joined forces to form Deadgrass, a string band adventure through Jerry Garcia’s musical world. Bassist Dave Richards, banjo player Boo Reiners, and fiddler Kensuke Shoji complete this fine group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Jerry Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him. “We interpret Jerry’s catalog and make it our own,” said Matt Turk, co-founder of Deadgrass. “We’re not a tribute band. We’re a group of musicians who bring bluegrass/folk/rock/jazz/jam/Americana and more to create our own interpretation of this incredible American music.”
The Deadgrass performance is sponsored by gold sponsors Michael and Aileen Ellis. It is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for Deadgrass on May 17 at 7:30 p.m. are $27 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
