Why A County Wide Library System?
Prior
to 1998, about 54% of Lawrence County had to pay for a library membership.
Because
of the membership fees, many county residents were not able to take full
advantage of their local libraries.
In
January 1998, a county wide library system was established. Thanks to the
Lawrence County Commissioners, a one mill library tax was added into the
county budget. This money will allow the three county libraries to expand and
improve library service to all residents.
What Does A Federated Library System Mean To You?
It
means that you can get a library card at no charge. You have access to all of
the materials and services of the Frank Dickson Campbell, Elwood City Area and
New Castle Libraries. Through the Access Pennsylvania program, you can use
other libraries
throughout Pennsylvania. Mercer, Beaver, Butler, Armstrong and Allegheny
libraries are just some of the locations that participate in the Access
Pennsylvania Program. With technology upgrades at each library, you will be
able to search holdings of all three
libraries.
