When our strategic planning workgroup met in September, our immediate task wasn’t to start planning for the library’s future

– rather, it was to take a step back and look at the history of the library. Together our group picked out just a few of the

highlights from the Demmer (and the pre-Demmer, Three Lakes Community Library) history, starting all the way back with the

question of “how did Three Lakes get here anyway?”

And so, I present to you for your edification and enjoyment:

A Very Abbreviated History of the Demmer Library from the Very Beginning
