Creating a Space for Learning, Accessibility, and Community
Funded through the Unrestricted Fund
The Meadville Public Library has always been more than a place for books. It is a hub for learning, connection, and community events that bring people together.
With support from the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund, the library completed construction of new accessible sidewalks and an outdoor amphitheater. The project provides safe, inclusive access for everyone and a welcoming space for programs, performances, and neighborhood gatherings.
“We wanted a space where everyone could participate,” shared a library representative. “Now, we can host story hours, concerts, and community events that bring people of all ages together.”
This project represents the best of what local giving makes possible — turning shared spaces into places where learning and belonging grow side by side.
Every gift tells a story. Every story becomes a legacy.
