James and William Strait provided $10,000 to build an art museum wing. This wing was the home of the Art League until it moved to a bigger location. This wing is now the children's library collection. The library still feels like an Art Museum since it houses the only known collection of historic paintings by noted artist, R. Sherman Winton which features historical Florida themes of the Spanish Period. The library also houses wood carvings by Sam J. Schlappich, a local Lake Worth Beach artist who was featured in the Century of Progress Fair in 1933 and the World Fair 1939.
