The Lycoming County Library System supports the PA Forward statewide initiative, which believes that when Pennsylvania residents improve their command of five types of literacy – basic, information, civic and social, health, and financial – they can achieve greater success as students, parents, employees, consumers, as citizens. Libraries are community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.
