Library Updates

It’s that time of year again, time for our Annual Appeal! If you mailed your Annual Appeal in, please stop in for a token of our appreciation.

On a more somber note, if you received an appeal addressed to someone deceased, we are sorry for your loss. We are unfortunately unable to remove anyone from the mailing list as we purchase the list from the US Postal Service. Please contact the local Post Office at 814-725-4009

Collection Updates

You may have noticed that the children’s audio books have moved, now all items are located next to the downstairs desk.
