The library is the one place in Spring City, East Vincent and East Coventry where family, information, technology, learning and community all meet under one roof.

Plan your visit →One self-serve machine next to the public computers. It takes coins and small bills (we can’t break anything larger than a $1), and doesn’t take cards. No mobile printing yet.
A multi-purpose community room with a smart TV, four flip-top tables and 24 padded chairs. Home to the Women’s Library Club, weekly story times, the teen D&D group and the adult book group.
Databases A–Z, job and career help, kids’ and teens’ homework tools, and Power Library — all included with your card, all usable from your kitchen table.

Placeholder card. Three sample posts of 150–300 words each are being written as part of the Blog content doc, so this section is wired and styled but not yet populated with real copy.
Placeholder card. The layout supports a category tag, headline, 2–3 line excerpt and a date, so posts can be added without touching the design.

For most of its history the library lived in a 1,600-square-foot former one-room schoolhouse. Then Bertha Brower, a longtime resident who ran this library for years, left it $500,000 when she died in 2001 — on the condition it be used to build a library fit for the 21st century.
Her money, a State grant and an ongoing fundraising effort by neighbors built what stands at 245 Broad Street today: a genuine community center serving Spring City, East Vincent Township and, since June 2019, East Coventry Township.
Every dollar given here stays here — it buys new books, keeps the story times going, and keeps the doors open six days a week for 750-odd neighbors who walk through them.
Prefer to give time instead of money? We have volunteer roles and open board seats, and both make a real difference.
