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.
Make your donation go farther during Center Gives!
Support our libraries during Centre Gives, an annual 36-hour online giving event hosted by the Centre Foundation beginning at 8 am on May 8th and concluding at 8 pm on May 9th. Any money given to the Centre Gives event that is designated for the Centre County Library & Historical Museum will go farther thanks to two “stretch pools” and additional cash prizes.
