part of the community
since 1941
The Stanton Public Library has been a part of the community since 1941. The library was first housed at 416 Broad Avenue, then moved to the former bank building on Broad Avenue in 1945, and to its current location at 501 Elliott Street, on May 6, 2014. A human chain formed from the older to the present location, and books were passed hand-to-hand in a community-wide event, that made each person feel an important part of the new library.
The library has books, puzzles, DVD’s, and computers for all ages. The computer lab is the most populated location in the library.
The library hosts a variety of programs for all ages during the year. They also have a Tiny Tots program during the school year and a Summer Reading Program for the older children in the summer.
Shelley Anderson is the director of the library. The library is open to the public during the following hours:
- Monday: 1:00pm-5:00pm
- Tuesday: 9:00am-11:00am, 2:00pm-5:00pm
- Wednesday: 1:00pm-6:00pm
- Thursday: 2:00pm-5:00pm
- Friday: 1:00pm-4:00pm
- Saturday: 1:00pm-3:00pm
Stop by and “check out” the facility and all it has to offer!
