Bridgeville Public Library

The original Bridgeville Public Library building was constructed in 1866 as the First Presbyterian Church of Bridgeville. In September 1966, the ladies of the church formed the Ladies Society of the Presbyterian Church, a group later to be called the Ladies’ Mite Society. The Tuesday Night Club of Bridgeville was organized as a literary society in October of 1896. In 1917 this group purchased the vacant Presbyterian Church for $500. In 1919, Mrs. Margaret Ricards Cannon organized a circulating library in the Sunday school room of the building. The Bridgeville Public Library became an official library in 1964. On August 13, 2008, we broke ground for our new facility located at 600 South Cannon Street. On August 17, 2009, we held a ribbon cutting and dedication for our new library.

The Bridgeville Public Library provides free access to a variety of materials, programs, and services in a friendly and welcoming environment. Special emphasis is placed on providing current, high-demand, high-interest materials in a variety of formats. The library also promotes genealogy research and a local history collection. In carrying out its mission, the library enhances the quality of life in our community. Our goal is to provide the community we serve with a quality collection, with programs and services in a facility that is accessible, safe and comfortable for all of our customers.
