Retaining history and function in the Milton Public Library

Since 1923, the Milton Public Library has been a key component of Milton, PA. Currently located on six acres of manicured lawn, the library now boasts a new addition of learning and rental space. As stated on the Milton Public Library's website, "It's truly a library unlike any other in the state of Pennsylvania."

The building retains much of its original architecture and historic elements.
