Moores Memorial Library is a small rural library serving our community since 1881 when it was first organized as a community reading club. We presently serve the rural community in and around the Christiana Borough and Sadsbury Township. Many of our patrons come from Amish and Mennonite farm families.

Our history is particularly important to us. The library houses a large collection of historical materials relevant to the Christiana Resistance of 1851, one of the seminal events leading to the Civil War.

We are proud of our many children’s activities like Lego and STEM club and our big wooden block collection, Manga Tile collection and many other educational items for kids to play with anytime the library is open.  We have an active summer reading program and partner with local schools to ensure their students have access to the materials they need to complete their summer reading assignments.

Our Friends of the library run a used bookstore on our lower level and hold many fund raising activities during the year. Two of their most popular events are the tea always held in February and a Fall Book Sale held in October.

Our Board is dedicated to providing a full range of library services to our patrons who would otherwise not have access to books, DVD's computers and other educational programs.

Mission

The Moores Memorial library strives to strengthen our rural community by fostering literacy, preserving local heritage, expanding access to information and technology, and creating opportunities for learning, engagement, and civic participation.
