The history of the Stromsburg Public Library began early in the last century.
In the spring of 1916 the Stromsburg Commercial Club contacted the Carnegie Corporation, seeking to secure a grant for a new library. The Corporation granted $7,500 to the City of Stromsburg for a library building. The grant was given with the proviso that the City obtain a suitable plot and agree to maintain the library after it was built.
Mission Statement:
“The Stromsburg Public Library provides information and services for lifelong learning and enjoyment.”
