The Mary S. Biesecker Public Library is now open for limited curbside service from 10am-4pm, Monday-Friday.

In keeping with Governor Tom Wolf’s directive to limit the spread of COVID-19, our building remains closed to the public for the moment. However, we are offering limited hours of curbside pickup service for printing and checking out library materials. Read more here about the details of how this curbside delivery process will work. Much of our staff still continues to work from home and the best way to reach us with questions is via email (info@maryslibrary.com) or phone (814-445-4011).
