Mission
The mission of the Jenkintown Library is to promote reading and the free expression of ideas; to actively support the community's educational, cultural, business and technology information needs; and to manage and preserve the library's historical legacy.
The Bookstore
Hundreds of gently used fiction and nonfiction books have been donated to Jenkintown Library to sell in The Bookstore. There are also children's and teen books as well as CDs and DVDs. All are reasonably priced at $1 for hardbacks, CDs, DVDs, and 25 cents for paperbacks.
Board of Directors
The Library Board of Directors, which consists of a maximum of 15 members, meets September - June on the second Monday of the month at 7:30 PM in the library's Community Room.
