PA Forward is designed to change the way people think about libraries, understand and value their importance, and commit resources to ensure their impact.
PA Forward | Pennsylvania Libraries is an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library Association. It was created to give voice to what the library community already knows, and what other states throughout the nation are also recognizing: With the right support, libraries are ideally positioned to become the community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all citizens.
PA FORWARD will benefit Pennsylvania’s LIBRARIES and all the PENNSYLVANIANS who use them by:
Making library services available for all Pennsylvania citizens.
Strengthening state-supported library services and leveraging greater local and private support.
Having an integrated library system that will not only lower local costs, but improve resource-sharing for citizens.
Providing more databases at a lower cost and a better statewide delivery system.
Bolstering the recognized link between library service and workforce development.
Raising the profile and importance of libraries and librarians.
