Your gift will help the library meet our community's needs for the
21st century.
Your annual contribution of $20 or more makes you a Friend of the
Library. More importantly, it helps support and sustain one of
Lycoming County’s cultural treasures—the James V. Brown Library.
Your gift helps the library continue the basic activities that draw
an average of more than 1,000 people daily to downtown Williamsport.
The library has identified an ambitious set of goals for the 21st
century:
• improving and expanding services for children
• maintaining a collection of high-quality materials in various
formats for all ages
• reducing the rate of illiteracy in Lycoming County
• supporting the needs of area students for career information
• providing access to online information for people of all ages and
incomes
• assisting all residents of Lycoming County in meeting their
lifelong learning goals
