Annual Memberships Run from January 1 - December 31

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
 

 

 

Why does the Library need a Friends Group?



• To focus public attention on the library

• To stimulate the use of the library’s
resources and services

• To encourage gifts, endowments,
and bequests to the library

• To support the development of
library services and facilities for the community

• To support the freedom to read

• To enhance library services by
providing effective leadership through advocacy and education

• To energize community support
for libraries
