Ensure the library’s tomorrow!
Your gift allows Centre County Library and Historical Museum to continue serving 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.
