The Cumberland County Library System administrative headquarters office has relocated from Carlisle to Mechanicsburg

Mechanicsburg, Pa. – Cumberland County’s Library System headquarters recently relocated from 1601 Ritner Highway, Suite 100, Carlisle, to 400 Bent Creek Boulevard, Suite 150, Mechanicsburg. As part of office space reallocations to make room for the addition of the 7th county judge, who will be elected in November 2019, several County departments and agencies are being relocated.

Holly Springs; Bosler Memorial Library, Carlisle; Cleve J. Fredricksen Library, Camp Hill; East Pennsboro Branch Library, Enola; John Graham Library, Newville; Joseph T.
