Ridley Park Public Library

The Ridley Park Public Library, Delaware County's only Carnegie Library, offers a wide array of programming and services for all ages, from infants to adults. Their mission is to engage minds, enrich lives, and empower people, serving as a trusted resource for personal growth and enhanced quality of life within the community. The library provides diverse programming including story times, craft activities, STEM programs, and book clubs, supported by the Friends of the Ridley Park Library. Their collection features books, magazines, movies, and museum passes, complemented by services such as faxing, copying, printing, and free Wi-Fi. Historically, the library began in 1888 and moved to its current building in 1911 with funding from Andrew Carnegie, on the condition that the borough of Ridley Park take over its support. The library is governed by a board of seven trustees.
