In 2020 the Bowlby Library continues to be a focal point for the community.  County residents, university, and college students may apply for a FREE library card which gives patron access to over 62,000 items in our collection!

Greene County Mystery Road Rally
​October 24, 2020

On Saturday, October 24, Greene County United Way and the Greene County Tourist Promotion Agency host our first Mystery Road Rally.  Participants drove across (down and around) Greene County for a little less than four hours, stopping to complete activities at six road blocks along the way.  We had 39 vehicles join us on that cold day, and it was a blast.

Thank you to our event sponsor, EQT, as well as First National Bank for supporting this event.  We would also like to thank our Road Block agencies - Corner Cupboard Food Bank, Domestic Violence Services of SWPA, Eva K. Bowlby Library, Flenniken Public Library, Greene County Historical Society Museum, SPHS Care Center, and Venture Outdoors.  And, last but definitely not least, thank you to all the participants.  

Emergency Response Fund Awards $126,500 in Local Grants

The awards were distributed as direct grants by the Greene County Emergency Response Fund Committee.  These grants ensure rapid funding for organizations meeting urgent needs for those affected by the pandemic, such as food, shelter and emergency financial assistance. 

PRIORITY AREAS
