Local History Department News
The Local History Department was recently awarded a grant
from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and
Economic Development for the purchase of a new Microfilm Reader/Printer.
Additionally, Freeport Library generously donated a Microfilm
Reader/Printer that they were no longer using. Together, these two
machines have replaced our aging equipment. We are excited to have this
