The Walkerton-Lincoln Township Public Library Board awarded a bid for the construction of a new library at the corner of U.S. 6 and Washington Street.
The winning bid came from Brown and Brown out of Elkhart in the amount of $1,210,600. Library Director Traci Stewart said the bid was higher than what was budgeted, so the board plans to scale back the project. They plan to do that at their Sept. 12 meeting.
