PA Forward
In 2015 the Annie Halenbake Ross Library heard of PA Forward and its branding/PR campaign from the District Center, PaLA, and Office of Commonwealth Libraries. The former Executive Director spoke at the Oct 2015 PaLA Convention in State College about Basic Literacy and the Clinton County Library on Wheels Program. In 2016 The Annie Halenbake Ross Library was designated one of 11 North Central District Libraries as a Gold Star Library. Librarians recognize the many ways the library has helped Clinton County families build literacy skills. Life in the Clinton County community would be diminished without these crucial services.
