PA Forward is built upon the belief that libraries are uniquely positioned to help citizens improve their command of five types of literacy – basic, information, civic and social, health, and financial – essential to greater success in all vital roles of life: as students, as parents, as employees, as consumers, as citizens.

PA Forward ensures that libraries have the resources they need to keep Pennsylvania moving forward:

  • Moving forward on reading and learning early in life, which correlates directly to academic performance and graduation rates – positioning our young people for success
  • Moving forward to excel in the 21st century, where command of new information technologies help drive job creation and retention – with libraries serving as community hubs for job information and career reinvention
  • Moving forward as a commonwealth, promoting learning and access to information as keystones to our continued progress
