HISTORY

The Worthington West Franklin Community Library was formed out of a two-person committee of the Worthington West Franklin Joint Parks and Recreation Authority.

The two-person committee expanded its membership adding more volunteers and became a municipal-supported, state-supported public library in 1985.

The library is financially supported by the library division of the Pa. Department of Education, Worthington Borough, West Franklin Township, used bookstore, foundations, and annual giving by residents, non-residents and library members.
