The Library’s mission is to encourage lifelong learning by providing public access to written, recorded, and electronic resources. The Library is located within 7 municipalities of the Charleroi Area School District in a beautiful 100+ year old building. Last year 48,748 patrons came into the Library. Check out a book; text or audio, including large text, log onto a computer; programs for children and adults, fax, copy, or read the newspaper. The doors of the Library have been kept open through support of the municipalities, Charleroi Area School District, County, and State as well as amazing patrons, fundraising, and grant writing. New wiring, updated lighting, remodel of the Children’s Room and additional audio classics were all made possible through grants from the Washington County Community Foundation Grants. The new computers were provided by an anonymous donor. Everyone is invited to the Library!
