Lawrence Memorial Public Library
Our library building was the original permanent Climax, MI post office. Willis Lawrence was the first rural free delivery driver in Michigan and he gathered field stone from the farms and homes on his route. These stones were used in the construction of the building, which was completed in 1931. The Lawrence family donated the building to the village of Climax in 1964 as long as it is used as a public library. We have expanded the building to accommodate our growing library holdings and to add a historical society room in 1990. The building was certified by the U.S. Department of Interior as listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
