Welcome!

The Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library is a non-profit organization, established in 2003, of community members who believe that good libraries are essential to the cultural and economic well-being of our community.  We are independent and separate from the library board of trustees, but work in close cooperation with the library staff and board to improve and promote the library.  We focus public attention on library services and activities, strengthen and expand library services and supplement library funding, allowing for special collections, services, materials and programs that would not otherwise be possible.

Demand for library services rises dramatically during a recession.  We are in an economic recession in 2009.  Libraries all across Pennsylvania, including our own, are busier than ever, as demand for library services increases.  Governor Rendell's proposal to cut four library state appropriations by $3,040,000 (including the devastating 50% cut to our State Library) comes at the worst possible time.  In addition, his proposed budget will cost Pennsylvania $906,000 in lost federal money.

The library needs the help of Friends now more than ever! 

Volunteers are always needed and heartily welcomed!  Come on down.  Get involved with other motivated people who share a common interest in making our library the best that it can be.

We also include all branches of the Snyder County Libraries in many of our gifts of support.

We are honored and grateful for generous donations Friends received in 2008.  We were pleased as well that several people chose to acknowledge and honor others by way of a donation to Friends of the Selinsgrove Community Library in a family's or individual's name.  These honoraria are also very much appreciated.
