The James V. Brown Library is the public library for Williamsport and the center of the Lycoming County Library System. Built and opened in 1907 as the result of a bequest from lumber baron James VanDuzee Brown, the Library has grown and changed with the times.
Today, the James V. Brown Library is finding a balance between books and technology. Our customers value both the traditional services, and readily use the new technology based services. Hundreds of people a week use the web while at the library. The library’s website receives thousands of visits per month.
Hundreds of babies, toddlers and preschool children enjoy a story time and select books -- either in the Youth Services Department or from one of the Lycoming County Library System's three outreach vehicles: Storymobile, Book's Bus and the Bookmobile.
Today about half the people who visit the James V. Brown Library come for a good book or to read. The other half come for other reasons: seeking information for work, school, or personal development.
In the face of many changes, the library remains true to its original mission: to enable people to be the best they can be, to grow, to learn and to enjoy their lives while learning!
