The James V. Brown Library was a gift to the city of Williamsport from Lumber Baron James VanDuzee Brown in 1907. Brown died in 1904, just 3 years shy of the completion of his dream to give Williamsport a free, public library. The James V. Brown Library is the 10th busiest library in the state. Today, the Library is used not only for checking out books, but seminars, genealogical research and children’s activities like story time, workshops and computer programs. Spend an afternoon at the James V. Brown Library and you will find this Library offers more than just a good book.
