About PA Forward
The Pennsylvania Library Association’s PA Forward | Pennsylvania Libraries initiative was conceived to give voice to what the library community already knows, and what other states throughout the nation recognize – with the right support, libraries are ideally positioned to become the community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.

The S.W. Smith Memorial Public Library has earned the Bronze Star, five Silver Stars for Basic Literacy, Health Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic-Social Literacy, Financial Literacy and the ultimate Gold Star! The library also renewed their PA Forward Gold Star in 2020!
