The Strazisce library, one of six municipal libraries operated by the Kranj City Library, is currently operating in unsuitable premises at the Šmartinski House, which lacks proper accessibility for people with disabilities. The local municipality has proposed relocating the library to new spaces as part of the planned commercial area development in Strazisce, led by Promit Benz. This relocation would address current shortcomings, including inadequate access for disabled individuals, which violates legal requirements. The proposed commercial area initially included a car wash but was revised based on community feedback to include educational, cultural, and scientific activities. The plan also allows for the library and elderly day care center to be housed in the new space. The library is highly visited, recording over 19,000 visits last year, making it the most visited among all municipal libraries in Kranj.
