Hello from the Library! Is everyone still OK out there? We hope so, and whether you are able to visit the Library in person or not, we still strive to provide you, our patrons, with a helpful experience. To that end, we’d like you to be aware of a new service for students.

Tutor.com

Tutor.com provides on-demand tutoring, homework help, test preparation, and writing assistance for students in grades K-Adult in over 60 subjects. No appointment is needed. Tutors are available from 3:00 pm – 10:00 pm. You can also use their drop-off reviews, practice quizzes, video lessons, and The Princeton Review SAT®/ACT® Essentials to study 24/7.

Here at the Hollidaysburg Area Library, we strive to create and maintain a welcoming space for all members of our community to learn, grow, and gather together. We’re about more than books here—we seek to provide vital resources and services for all people.

Of course, no one is more important to that mission than you, our patrons, supporters, and neighbors! This coming #GivingTuesday on December 3, you can make a difference for all those that use the Library, both now and for years to come.

If you’d like to help out, please consider making a contribution. You can either make a donation online using a credit or debit card through our secure PayPal account, or you can donate by mail. Naturally, we always welcome donations in person as well!

We also always appreciate donations of materials and the time of volunteers, so there are many ways to give. You can find more information on our donations page. And remember: You don’t need to wait until next Tuesday to contribute!

No matter what, we would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We sincerely appreciate all you do for us.
