Join us as we learn from Bird Safe Philly how to help migrating birds in our community thrive and meet their destinations by reducing their collisions with windows.

Join us in asking our state representatives to increase funding for Pennsylvania Libraries.

The proposed 2026-2027 state budget includes flat funding for public libraries. Pennsylvania Public Libraries are asking for an increase of $7.3 million, which is just an extra $1.80 per library user statewide.

Want to help? Call or email your State Representative and State Senator to show your support for increased funding for Pennsylvania Libraries. Literacy starts with reading, and learning to love to read starts at your public library. Together, we can do more.

You can find your representatives here: https://www.palegis.us/find-my-legislator

From 2022 to 2025, the library system followed a strategic plan centered on three key goals: building community, enriching lives, and ensuring sustainability. With your input guiding us, we’ve worked to grow programs, strengthen services, and create spaces that are welcoming and inclusive for all. Now, we’re proud to share the results. Our new Impact Report highlights what we’ve accomplished together and offers a closer look at the work that happens every day at your library system.

We hope you’ll take a few moments to explore it and see the difference CTLS makes.
