About
Mars Area Public Library
a world for everyone!

Check out more than books! We have a variety of materials and services to meet your
personal, professional, and educational needs. Think of us as a community center where your children can attend a story-time or have a birthday party; teens can get together in a safe environment; seniors can find large print books; and busy professionals can check out audio books. You'll also find
magazines, movies, audio books, reference materials, computers, and electronic databases. There is a community room that
can be rented for social or business events. So come in and join a book club, attend an event, and use our computers and WiFi.
