The existing Grade A Listed Strichen Town House building was substantially renovated over Winter 2024-25, with work ongoing in Winter 2025-26 to complete the final elements, it is our intention to commence work on the proposed extension once funding has been sourced. During the 2024-25 year, Aberdeenshire Council decided to review its policy of providing Library Services in Strichen. Strichen Town House Trust teamed up with The Friends of The Woodman and Anderson to take over the ownership of The Woodman and Anderson Library, at 59A, Water Street, Strichen. A licence to occupy the building was agreed from 6th May 2025, whilst the Asset Transfer process ran its course. On 11th November 2025, Aberdeenshire Council agreed to the Asset Transfer of 59A, Water Street. The conveyancing of the Title took place in March 2023. In May 2025, STHT agreed to open a second bank account to manage the income and expenditure of The Anderson and Woodman Library.
