The new Schulenburg Public Library is up and running!! Come visit us!
If you’ve had the opportunity to use our current public library then you realize there is no space to expand to meet the increasing needs of our citizens and understand the need to move forward from it’s “home-like” atmosphere to a building specifically designed for a library.
The present library has 1,100 square feet of library space. The proposed building for the new library will have 8,100 square feet attractively designed to encourage library use, and is estimated to cost $1.2 million, including parking area and landscaping. The Stanzel Family Foudation has donated property just north of the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum, a location ideal for students from Blinn College, Schulenburg Campus, as well as students from both the public school and St. Rose.
Picture a new Schulenburg Public Library with:
Space for additional public-use computers
Capacity to house the growing library collection
A community meeting room
Media Room
Reading rooms for both children and adults
More programs for children and adults, such as a literacy program
Today’s library provides a treasure of information for research, large print books, videos, and periodicals, and of course, books. For nearly 30 years the current library has served our community well, supplying reading material to accommodate the diverse cultures, interests and pursuits of its readers.
As the tradition of private giving gave us our current library in 1975, we want to sustain Charles Matula’s commitment for generations to come. Local City funds will cover salaries and maintenance of the new library. We are relying on fundraisers, grants, endowments, corporate contributions, and individual contributions, to construct this state-of-the-art facility — Donations from people like you! Our vision is to create a supportive environment for lifelong learning by people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds who live, work and study in the Schulenburg, Texas area.
If you can, please help us reach our ambitious fundraising goal of $1.2 million by contributing to the New Library Building Fund. Construction can begin once funds have been raised. Make your tax-deductible gift in any way that works best for you — outright cash gift, pledge for up to two years, transfer of stocks, designated gift, or commemorative naming opportunity.
We currently have $1,000,000 in our New Library Building Fund! Thank you to all of the supporters!!
