The Stanton Public Library was established in 1941 and is currently located in the old City Hall building at the south end of the community’s central business district. Open six days a week, the library collection features 7,000 books, along with a number of videos, DVDs, and audiobooks. A local group called Stanton Friends is leading an effort to build a large multi-purpose facility which will house the library in a space four times the size of the current location. Nearly two-thirds of the project’s $2.8 million price tag has been raised; an opening date has not been set.
