Reader question: I was shocked to find out that not all of the Fox Cities libraries are in the same sharing network. The Appleton library is part of the Outagamie Waupaca Library System, and the Neenah and Menasha libraries are part of the Winnefox Library System. Patrons of any Fox Cities library should be able to have holds transferred from any other library in the area, and they should also be able to return books to any of those libraries.

APPLETON – The city took a step toward increasing its supply of housing by annexing 95 acres of farmland from the town of Grand Chute for development as single-family homes. The Common Council approved the annexation unanimously Wednesday. The property is located at 4700 N. Richmond St. and is contiguous to Appleton. No one lives on the land. The annexation was requested by David Dorn, trustee for the Jane Dorn Revocable Trust. He is represented by Steve Wieckert of Wieckert Real Estate.

MENASHA — The planned High Cliff Connection bicycle and pedestrian trail between Menasha and Sherwood will cost $10 million and take 10 years to complete, according to a new feasibility study. "We all know this is not going to be just a couple thousand dollars," Trail Coordinator Lynda Fink told the Menasha Common Council. Fink said the cost estimate accounts for property acquisition, design, construction and inflation.
