Truth is, I love books and libraries. I get it from my mother who's been a school lbirarian for close to forty years. The Priestley-Forsyth Memorial Library my be small in size but it's not small in caliber. The library offers literature and programs for people of all ages. Right now they've got a summertime reading program going on for kids. For adults they offer a whole bunch of other services. Want to join a book club? They've got one and you can have a small portion of a book e-mailed to you every day. That way you can decide if you want to check it out. Need help finding a job? They are a part of the Pennsylvania CareerLink Participating Agency and they have free help and tutorial services available. Are you a teacher? The Library has a collection just for teachers. They've also got "Story Bags"--themed collections designed for group use by elementary teachers, reading teachers, etc. Are you a new parent? They've got parenting books and DVDs on all sorts of child rearing topics. Pretty impressive huh? O' but there's more than that. The building has a very colorful history too. It was built circa 1825 and it was orignally a a tavern and stage coach stop. Known as the Cross Keys Inn, travelers could stop on their way to Scranton or Erie and have a hot meal, a pint of ale, or even a bed for the night. Joseph Priestley's great-grandson purchased the building in 1864 and he converted it into his home and medical practice. In 1924 Mrs. Frances Priestley-Forsyth donated the house for use as a public library. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Priestley-Forsyth Memorial Library is a part of Access PA, which allows cardholders to borrow from most public libraries in the Commonwealth. Think I could use my Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh card here?

Online has a huge selection of ebooks and audiobooks you can download through Kindle, Ipad, and Adobe. The wifi can be spotty, but it's free so I never complain.

The first floor children's area has more games than you can imagine along with a lizard!! Parking can be painful. The garage under the library is not recommended if you have a large SUV or truck. It gets really tight. Sometimes, it's just easier to pay for street parking.
