The Cambria County Library System is headquartered at the Cambria County Library location. The library system was established in 1963 and has fourteen member libraries. It is a federated library system, meaning that each library maintains local independence and has its own operating board. Participation in a county system is voluntary and every public library in Cambria County opted to become a member of the county system. Every library shares in the county funds, enabling them to provide even better local library services.
