For 136 years, the Osterhout Free Library has served the residents of Wilkes-Barre and its surrounding communities in Luzerne County. We invite you to support your public library by sponsoring the 21st Annual Gala and Auction: Around the World with the Osterhout, which will take place on Friday, September 5.

This years gala theme is based on the well-known Jules Verne novel, Around the World in 80 Days, and while world travel may be impossible for many, what better way to explore the world than through resources available to everyone at our public library?

The Osterhout is a place where community members of all ages can learn, connect, have fun and explore the world. We need your help to continue our programs for our community to enjoy.
