The Stanley Community Library broke ground in 2012 on a new, patron-owned, permanent home, as part of a larger redevelopment project that is bringing new commercial, retail, and housing to downtown Stanley. The new facility provides more space for users, with much better visibility and energy-efficiency, and includes a multipurpose room that meets many needs and is accessible after hours to community groups. We moved in January 2013, the new building is paid for, and the paperwork is done to complete the property purchase. We deeply appreciate the many friends and supporters who have helped the Building Committee over the past several years as we have worked toward finding the library a permanent home.
