Emmaus Public Library could not freely offer its collections, events, public computers, and other resources without your generous support.

While two thirds of the library’s funding typically comes from state and local government, one third must come from private sources. Your generous donation is always appreciated.
Thank you.

Emmaus Public Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Charitable Organizations.
