Why the Library Is More Than Books: Behind the Scenes of Maintenance & Sustainability

Keeping our libraries welcoming and accessible means more than offering great books and engaging programs—it also means ensuring our buildings are safe, clean, and functional for everyone who walks through our doors.

When unexpected costs like HVAC breakdowns occur, they place a strain on our already tight operational resources. The Gettysburg Branch, for example, is currently facing a multi-week air conditioning outage on the third floor. Repairs are already underway, but situations like these highlight a broader challenge: the ongoing upkeep of our facilities.

Consider the Library

Ryan Huffman - Computer Systems Director

Working at the library has changed the way I think about libraries as community pillar institutions.
