What is PA Forward?
The Pennsylvania Library Association’s 21st Century Literacies Initiative, PA Forward, was conceived 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 of our citizens.
Libraries have moved far beyond just being book repositories. They’re agile institutions serving real-life needs. Libraries are the key to powering progress and elevating the quality of life in Pennsylvania by fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy.
The Coy Public Library's mission is to become a PA Forward Gold Star Library. We want to provide our community with resourceful programs that meet any of the five literacies of PA Forward listed below. We hope that our community will stand behind us and support our journey to becoming a Gold Star Library!
We are officially a Silver Star Library, working our way up!
