History of Whitehall Public Library
On September 6, 1961 the Whitehall Borough Council appointed a Board of Library Trustees and funds were provided for shelving and furniture. The Friends of the Whitehall Public Library, organized in 1961, began to conduct a fund drive for new books. On December 5, 1962 Beatrice Mulholland was hired as the first librarian. The Whitehall Public Library was dedicated on May 5, 1963.

A History of Whitehall Borough And Its Government
Years ago the library sold copies of this wonderful book on the history of Whitehall Borough written by former Mayor of Whitehall, Ed Brennan.
Due to a very generous donation from Mr. Tom Caste and Mr. John Slater, the reprinting of this book was completely underwritten. Therefore, all proceeds benefit the library.
