About
The Avalon Public Library was founded in 1940 with the aim of serving everyone equally through its lending services and access to information, and that mission is still true today. We proudly serve the residents of Avalon Borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Our Mission
Preserve Yesterday, Inform Today, Inspire Tomorrow
Through Exploration, Discovery, and Achievement
History
The library was founded after two preliminary meetings on 24 October and 11 December 1940. On 1 January 1941, the library was officially dedicated as a community project, “free for lending and free for reference.” The original Board of Trustees consisted of nine members, appointed to one and two year terms.
