A township library located within the Village of Farwell, Michigan,Surrey Township Public Library is one of the oldest township libraries since the state of Michigan began to keep records. The original building which housed the library is now a museum and the library moved into its current building in the mid 1970's. Credit goes to those early boards which saved money each year to build the library! The library of the mid 70's was added on to every 10 years since then, with one wing being added in the mid 80's and another added in the mid 90's. The library is governed by a 6 person elected board. The library director sees to the day to day runnings of the library under the direction of the library board. The mission of the library is to provide all types of materials to every age group be it for instruction or entertainment. Recently a gift from the Gates Foundation enabled the library to bridge the "digital divide" by providing the Internet as another resource of information.
