The Frostburg Library is a state-of-the-art facility constructed with the
intention of merging the traditional library setting with new technology,
providing the people of Allegany County and the community of Frostburg with
access to the internet and computers. The 10,000 square foot building,
which replaces the former 1960's library of less than half that
size, includes a replica of a historic Toll House of the National Road, as
well as a train theme in the children's section. An underground parking
garage, with and elevator to the main level, is also available.
There is a meeting room in the library for groups and
organizations to use. Please contact a librarian for more information or
to make a room reservation.
Our Frostburg branch is also the location for the Gates Computer Training Lab, a
facility with two purposes: First, weekly classes of computer related
content are offered free of charge to the public. Secondly, because the
lab is a public access, community facility, non-profit organizations and
businesses are welcome to use the computers for their own educational and
informational purposes.
The Frostburg Library offers a wide variety of materials and services,
including books for children, teens, and adults, magazines, paperbacks, large print, audio books,
music, DVDs, video games, Interlibrary Loans, and weekly
children's programs.
