Support literacy in Centre County

Your gift allows Centre County Library and Historical Museum to serve the people of Centre County, Pennsylvania and beyond. We are a free community destination providing books, information, Internet access, and technology resources to preserve our heritage and promote a lifetime of reading and learning. This is true at each of our 4 locations, online, on our Bookmobile, and wherever our librarians provide outreach in the community. Your support makes the fulfillment of this mission a reality.
