Lackawanna County Children’s Library

The Lackawanna County Children’s Library is the only free-standing “for children only” library in the Commonwealth. Originally a Christian Science Church, the Children’s Library was acquired by the Lackawanna County Library System in 1985. After interior renovations, the library opened its doors on December 13, 1987.

The Scranton Public Library enhances our community by fostering and supporting individual aspirations toward life-long learning, entertainment, and self-fulfillment for all. This is accomplished through free access, wherever it is needed, to a broad collection of resources in currently used formats, courteous and knowledgeable staff, and activities designed to satisfy the informational, educational, recreational, and personal needs of everyone in our ever-changing and diverse environment.
