Chester County Library Trust
The Chester County Library Trust, a 501(c)3 organization, was established to bridge the gap between traditional funding sources and community needs. The goal of the Trust is to develop financial resources to build collections, expand library programs and services, and support projects the libraries cannot afford through operating budgets.
We rely on your support to serve our community
Because of your generosity in 2025, we held 2,711 free programs and saved patrons $42.5 million by accessing library resources.
