Mission
The CAPL Library loans books and other materials to residents of Charleroi and the surrounding areas and communities. As a free library, it grants access to over 100,00 items through the Washington Library network. These resources include reference materials, books, periodicals, AV material and manipulatives to be used at home or in the space at the library. The resources engage the public in lifelong learning. The CAPL Library provides opportunities to members of every age and status. CAPL hosts story times, and certification courses throughout the year. In the past few years, CAPL has doubled the expenditures in adult and children programming. Topics are dependent on the requests and interests of the community and every aspect of growth from early childhood education to economic development. CAPL recognizes the influence of technology has on today's environment and the importance of current equipment. CAPL upgrades networks and hardware, when necessary, in order to provide the most effective and relevant resources possible. CAPL has access to multiple technology kits, designed to provide hands-on learning experiences in fields as robotics, at no cost to patrons.
