Congratulations to the Avon Grove Library, which recently celebrated 150 years of serving the community.

State Rep. John Lawrence, State Sen. John Kane, a representative from U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan’s office, and officials from the Chester County Library system all helped the Avon Grove Library in West Grove celebrate its important anniversary.

We’re fortunate to have some great libraries in southern Chester County. In Kennett Square, there is a new, large, state-of-the-art library. The Oxford Library is the third-oldest library in the state, and has a long and proud history of serving its community. And the Avon Grove Library has now reached an important milestone. If you’re not utilizing these community assets already, you should consider doing so in the New Year.
