About Our Library
Established in 1939 by the local Women's Club, the Meyersdale Public Library has grown through the years into a vital resource, recognized for its quality of services to this rural region.Our focus is on providing information resources, genealogy, and local history. We also offer a creative and welcoming environment for children, which includes our special storytelling area where we hold a weekly "story hour" event on most Fridays.
The library maintains an extensive collection of more than 36,000 books.
Eight computers offer Internet access and software programs to the public via a satellite connection. Our thanks to the Pennsylvania State Department of Education and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; their support has made our technology resources possible. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization receiving very little support from our local governments, and tax deductible contributions are welcome.
