"What can I do to help the library?"

The Hollidaysburg Area Public Library receives much of its funding through private donations from individuals, businesses and civic organizations. Your donations of cash and supplies help keep the Library open and free-of-charge for all Hollidaysburg Area residents. Take a look at our needs list for this month or our Amazon Wishlist.
