2017ANNUALREPORT

April 2018
Dear Library Supporters,


Welcome to the 2017 Annual Report
of the James V. Brown Library! As you look
through the following pages, you will see how
the library’s mission to be the place to go, to
learn, connect and grow is transforming the
lives of so many people in our community.
Our library has been engaged in
the American Library Association’s Librar-
ies Transform campaign; which promotes
the critical role that libraries play in the
individual lives of people in our community.
A key message of the campaign is that libraries
today are less about what they have for
people and more about what they do for and with
people. As part of this campaign, we asked
patrons “What is your BECAUSE statement?”
“What does the library bring to your life
and the life of your family?”
We were amazed at the hundreds of
BECAUSE statements given that reflected the
transformational power of our library in their
everyday lives.
We could not make this impact on our
community without your support!
BECAUSE of your generous
support our library transforms lives by
providing quality early literacy programs
for our youngest citizens, inspires the love
of books and reading, ensures free and open
access to information and technology, creates
a place for community engagement, facilitates
community conversation, and curates
opportunities for lifelong learning.
Your investment helps us to be a library
that transforms its community.
BECAUSE transformation is essential
to the communities we serve. Thank you for all
you do! We could not do it without you!


Sincerely,



Barbara S. McGary
Executive Director

Did you know that a child’s brain is 90%
developed by age 3? Providing fun and engaging
ways to learn is just one way the Library enhances
the lives of children in our community.
Lifelong learning is a part of our mission,
so we offer programs and resources for all ages –
from books to audiobooks, movies and computer
access – to help families learn together.
In 2017, there were 785 children and
family programs that attracted nearly 13,000
participants. Tweens and teens had nearly 150
programs from which to choose.
Programs were designed to keep children
active during the winter months, enrich their
sensory experiences, and teach new skills, such
as gardening, art and music appreciation. All
programs highlighted STEAM concepts to help
children reach their potential in Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics.


Libraries are

valuable to me
because books

can take you on

an adventure.
- Artemis, 7































2017 ANNUAL REPORT - James V. Brown Library 3

The Library is a community hub,
and available to all. By reaching out to
every member of the community, the
Library makes an impact and transforms
lives.
Whether it’s a Summer Reading
partnership with the Williamsport Cross-
cutters for Bilingual Storytime, or being
the weekly meeting location for the Wil-
liamsport Chess Club, the Library welcomes
volunteers and community partners.
The Library provides the Con-
nectWilliamsport.com community events
calendar website for the community, which
was used by more than 55,000 people.
Volunteers gave 7,140 hours of their
time in 2017 to transform the community.
And a special thanks to our
active and generous Friends of the
Library group that supports Library
programs with the proceeds from member-
ship, used book sales and the volunteer-run
Bookstore on the third floor of the Welch
Children’s Wing. The Friends raise funds
to help make it possible for the Library to
inspire and transform our community.



I can travel
the world

without leaving

my living room!

-Francine, 69

Enriching educational programs, like a
book talk by Dr. Sascha Feinstein of Lycoming
College, provide opportunities for people to talk
about books and movies, or learn a new skill.
From computer classes to history presenta-
tions to crafting workshops, the Library offers
a chance for adults to make social connections
and explore the world.
In 2017 there were 274 programs for
adults that were attended by over 3500 people.
Because of your generosity, more
than 120,000 of your fellow citizens used the
Library’s free public access computers or wi-fi
network to find a job, stay connected with fam-
ily and friends, or do research for homework or
personal enrichment.
















The Library is a wealth

of information and

entertainment.
-Matt, 45

All of this is possible because of the
generosity of people like YOU – our donors
and supporters.
It takes a community to support a
library, one with an amazing house of books
and resources. And our community uses the
Library. More than 500 people come through
our doors each day for the services, resources,
and programs we offer. Many of them leave with
books, movies, or music. In fact, nearly 31,000
items are borrowed each month.
Support can take the form of finan-
cial contributions or donations of time and
resources. A special thanks to the generosi-
ty of the Author Gala committee, which this
year brought best-selling author Louise Penny
(bottom left) to Williamsport for the Library’s
only fundraising event.
But don’t take our word for it. Ask
Laurie Burkholder (bottom right), a volunteer
and co-chair of the Author Gala Committee,
why she chooses to give her time and energy
to the Library.




“I support the Library because a
good library is a wonderful asset to
any town. It’s uses and functions cut
across all barriers of race, culture,
and education and is there to
support all who ask. It’s not just
about the books, although to me,
books are the best part of the
library!”

William L. Phillips


William L. Phillips was a generous supporter of the James V.
Brown Library, as well as an enthusiastic reader. After a long career in
publishing in New York, he returned to live in Williamsport near his family
and friends. He informed us several years ago that he had remembered the
Library in his will with an unrestricted gift. He became a part of the 1907
Society, made up of people who have told the Library about their
intentions.
We were saddened to learn of his death in 2017. His legacy will
live on, as his gift champions the love of reading and opens new doors
to lifelong learning. Gifts like his help ensure the preservation of library
services for future generations.
