“December, being the last month of the year, cannot help but make us think of what is to come.”
― Fennel Hudson, A Meaningful Life |
 Our 2025 Annual Appeal has begun! The trustees of the Coy Public Library of Shippensburg would like to thank you for your generous support over the years. As you know, the library plays a vibrant role in the community. It is a place that fosters cultural vitality and lifelong learning through open access to reading, resources, programs, and community spaces. Your gift is an investment in our community. The Coy Library has circulated 137,002 books and materials to community patrons in 2025 through August 31st. The library continues to offer programs and services that meet the changing needs of Shippensburg. This year we have been working on completing the Fogelsonger Family Stage in Library Square, updating our phone system for better service, and looking forward to our next project - a deck off the Youth Services Wing. Checks are made payable to Shippensburg Public Library with Annual Appeal in the memo line. Thank you for your continued support! |
