Our Facility

Our Facility The current home of the Strum Public Library began it's life as a funeral home.  The Village of Strum purchased the building in 2004 and began the process of remodeling the facility to serve the community in a new way.  The project came to be thanks to hours and hours of volunteer labor and planning, donations and discounts on construction materials, and an overall community effort.  The Friends of the Strum Public Library has been raising money to pay for the facility since 2001.  So far, all money for the new facility has come from private donations.  The library is not paid for in full, however, and a significant mortgage still exists.  Many fundraisers take place throughout the year and donations are always sought.  Even $1 can help.  If you would like to donate please mail your tax-deductible donation to:
Friends of the Strum Public Library (FOSPL for short)
