Annie Halenbake Ross bequeathed her home to the city of Lock Haven for the purpose of establishing a FREE lending library - one that didn't charge for membership or lending privileges. Ross Library doors opened over Thanksgiving in 1910 with the book collection of Philip M. Price Library. The original Ross home at 232 West Main Street, Lock Haven, augmented with a modern 1970's addition, celebrated 100 years of service in 2010 and continues to serve as the public library in Lock Haven and County Library providing programs, materials, and services to area residents free of charge.
