Pennsylvania Library Plan Proposes 27 District Centers
The Observer outlines a statewide library study by Dr. Lowell A. Martin proposing a coordinated system with 27 district centers funded partly by the state. It aims to provide day to day service within 15 to 20 minutes and a professional library within an hour to most residents, with regional resource centers at Philadelphia Free Library, State Library, Penn State Library, and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
