About the Seneca Library District

The state of Pennsylvania is divided by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries into 29 geographic regions called districts. Within each district, the State Librarian designates one strong library as the District Library Center. That library is then expected to provide supplementary library services to all local libraries within the district, make its resources available without charge to all residents of the district, coordinate the services of all local libraries, and exchange, provide, and contract for library services with other district library centers. All public libraries in the state are served by one of the 29 District Library Centers.

Our district is named the Seneca Library District and serves the libraries in Warren, McKean, Forest, Elk and Cameron counties. District Library Centers are allocated an appropriation of State Aid on a per capita basis in support of services they provide to libraries in each district. In exchange, Commonwealth Libraries requires that each District Center meet certain minimum standards.

Services provided to district member libraries include: Reference, Interlibrary Loan, Children’s Services, Adult Services, Cataloging Services, Technology, Financial Services, and Consultant Services.
