The Punxsutawney Memorial Library is participating in a new, nationwide project called Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces. Out of 106 applicants, our local library was selected as one of fifteen to learn and implement techniques to better engage with our communities and hear your feedback about what could make our communities better. Our goal is to develop some of those concerns into opportunities that promote learning, growth, and culture in our area.
