Tough Topics

At Huntingdon Valley Library, we know that our country is facing many difficult, sensitive situations, especially right now. We want to help. Our goal is to provide information and support for our patrons who want to educate themselves on issues including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental health, domestic violence, and especially ways for patrons in need to seek help.

Everyone is always welcome at HVL.
