About the Library

An independent library nestled in the Borough of Narberth, we are supported by the Borough, your donations, community organizations, and local businesses. We are here to provide our community with pleasure reading, audiobooks, videos, reference materials, new computers, a color printer, and a wide range of information services. Other services include; passes to local museums, cultural organizations, children’s programs and speaker and author presentations. We provide our citizens with a website with links to numerous educational, governmental and entertainment services.

Founded in 1921 and renovated in 2006, some of our original books are still included in our more than 29,400 items! While we originally saw ourselves as as resource for children, our current offerings are wide and span all age groups.
