Lackawanna County Library System issued the following announcement on December 5.
As the first year of a new decade is about to close its doors, the Scranton Public Library is taking this time to reflect on what we have accomplished, what we will continue in 2022, and what is yet to be done. A major component of how we review and design our programs is through the PA Forward(R) program.
What is PA Forward(R)?
PA Forward(R) is a statewide initiative to encourage all libraries, public, academic, and private to develop programs based on 5 essential literacies: Basic, Civic & Social, Financial, Health, and Information. Together, these 5 literacies enable our communities to live well and become life-long learners.
In 2018, the Scranton Public Library received Gold Star status from the PA Forward(R) Initiative. This means that all of our programs and services were aligned with the 5 literacies.
Below is a list of Scranton Public Library programs broken-down by the 5 literacies.
