The County Collection holds Schuylkill County historical books and materials about the Anthracite Coal Region. It also contains a wide range of materials on the Pennsylvania Germans, both their culture and their language. Many of the materials in this collection were donated by the late Edward Fox.

The Dorothy Jones Collection consists of the best, most valuable or most interesting titles out of a huge private library donated to us in 1989. The library represented the reading habits of two families who never threw a book away for at least 230 years.
