Spring Township Library's mission is to engage our community in literacy and learning by providing materials and information for life, work, and pleasure; and to engage in community outreach so that the township’s population knows what our libraries can provide for them. Our libraries offer a welcoming and meaningful experience to all who enter. The Spring Township Library is an essential, strategic component to the success of the township.

We're Aiming for Gold!
The Spring Township Library is working towards the Gold PA Forward Star.
What is PA Forward?
"The Pennsylvania Library Association’s 21st Century Literacies Initiative, PA Forward, was conceived to give voice to what the library community already knows, and what other states throughout the nation are also recognizing:
With the right support, libraries are ideally positioned to become the community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.
Libraries have moved far beyond just being book repositories. They’re agile institutions serving real-life needs. Libraries are the key to powering progress and elevating the quality of life in Pennsylvania by fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy."
PA Forward will benefit PA's libraries and all Pennsylvanians who use them by:
- Making library services available for all Pennsylvania citizens
- Strengthening state-supported library services and leveraging greater local and private support
- Having an integrated library system that will not only lower local costs, but improve resource-sharing for citizens
- Providing more databases at a lower cost and a better statewide delivery system
- Bolstering the recognized link between library service and workforce development
- Raising the profile and importance of libraries and librarians
We hope to announce our first goal, the Bronze Star, as soon as possible!
