Celebrating 175 Years of Service!
Coudersport Public Library is marking 175 of service in 2025! The Library has a rich history of supporting literacy and community engagement since its inception. From a small collection of books provided by a sewing circle in 1850, to today’s collection of 30,000+ books, DVDs, periodicals, electronic resources and more, the Library has been a staple of the community since Coudersport’s earliest days. We’re one of the oldest public libraries in Pennsylvania and in the nation!
Our Library’s story spans a wide spectrum of our collective history, from active participation in the Abolitionist movement in the mid-1800s — sheltering individuals fleeing to freedom on the Underground Railroad — to supporting the troops through book drives during World War I and World War II, remaining in operation through the Great Depression, and rising to meet today’s technological and informational challenges.
We invite you to stop in to view our historical displays and learn more about the Library’s fascinating history, while also perusing our large collection of resources aimed at meeting community needs!
