August 14, 2025
Pocono Township thanks its Board of Commissioners led by the initiative of Commissioner Brian Winot for Expanding Library Access for ResidentsPocono Township continues to prioritize access to educational resources for all residents as discussions remain ongoing with the Library Board regarding a long-term library presence within the Township. Recognizing how vital a library is to our community, Commissioner Winot has taken action to ensure that residents are not left without meaningful library access in the interim. Through his efforts, Commissioner Winot has successfully negotiated a discounted partnership with Northampton Community College, allowing Pocono Township residents to obtain a library pass for just $8 per person a year. Most importantly, Commissioner Winot has personally committed to covering the cost of the library pass for seniors, veterans, special needs individuals, and low-income families. We extend our sincere thanks to the Board & Commissioner Winot for stepping up on behalf of the community and helping to bridge the gap while we work toward a permanent solution. To apply for your library pass, please click the link below to access the fillable form. Once completed, bring it to the Township front desk located at: Pocono Township Municipal Building 205 Old Mill Rd Tannersville, PA 18372
