The Besore Association has received a grant through the West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund to upgrade lighting throughout the library to a more energy-efficient LED format. See the included press release for more information. The Franklin County Library System greatly appreciates the hard work of the members of the Besore Association who dedicate their time and energy to caring for and maintaining the Lilian S. Besore Memorial Library for the Greencastle-Antrim community. We couldn’t do what we do without them!

Located near downtown Greencastle, PA, the Besore Library serves its patrons with a friendly smile.

Welcome to our newly renovated library with an all-new addition of the main level community room, handicap accessible bathroom, a motorized handicap lift, and an adult reading room.  We were excited to have all this completed around our 50th Anniversary.  Come and check out our new space! 

Did you know that we are a Passport Acceptance Facility?  With passport agents on staff, we can answer your passport questions, execute your passport applications and even take your passport photos.  We are available during the library’s business hours by appointment only.  Click here to find out more about our passport services.

The Lilian S. Besore Memorial Library has a collection size of almost 50,000 items, including fiction, non-fiction, movies, picture books, books on CD, etc.  If you can’t find what you are looking for here, we can request it from another library for you.  Stop by and see what great things are happening at our friendly library.
