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.

Teen Advisory Group (TAG)

Help us plan events, choose books for young adults and decorate the Teen Scene space at the library. Recently at Young Adult Night, we had a band, ping-pong, and teens enjoyed snacking on pizza and popcorn. Teens also did "face-painting" at our fundraiser "Touch A Truck". Come in and see the new space just for teens in the Agnes Hudac Youth Library room. You'll find book reviews and staff picks for our favorite young adult books as well as some special seating just for you!
