You may or may not have seen the PA Forward initiative in the library via our website, newsletters, or in the library itself. So what is PA Forward anyway? The Pennsylvania Library Association (PLA) wanted to show everyone in the community what libraries do for people. Libraries are no longer just book repositories, they are community centers that serve real-life needs of the people in their service areas. PA Forward strives to show citizens of Pennsylvania that libraries are major components in fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy.Click here to learn more: www.paforward.org/
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.
