TISKILWA — It is official.

The village of Tiskilwa made it official at Tuesday night’s meeting. The Tiskilwa Public Library will be sold.

After discussion among the village board members and library board president Rich Foss, the village board motioned to sign an agreement to sell the library property, currently owned by the village, to the library district. The library district will pay $5,000 for the property and reimburse the village for previously paid bills like utilities, putting the transaction total just over $8,800.

There are no stipulations in the sales agreement that the library district has to keep the existing building. Though this is a concern for some board members, Foss said he and the library board would like to preserve the historic structure if possible, as well as the old jail that sits behind the library.
