The Need for Public Libaries in America

In a fascinating study as to the need and usage of libraries in our country, the American Library Association has published the "Quotable Facts About America's Libraries 2012".  Click HERE to see why supporting your public library is more important now than ever!



Our service area includes the Borough of Tamaqua, West Penn, Schuylkill, Walker, Rush, Ryan, and East Brunswick Townships. 

While our motto (as shown in Latin at the top of the page) is "Books, The Delight of the Soul," our town's library offers services far beyond books.

At left you will find links to these free of charge services as well as upcoming programs, the library’s hours of operation, and how to make a donation or to memorialize a loved one.
