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. So come in and join a book club, attend an event, and use our computers and WiFi.

Support the library by being part of our community. We are "a world for everyone!"
