EXCHANGE OF MONIES. Patrons are encouraged to submit payment for any fees or fines in the form of a check to reduce exposure to any germs that can live on the surface of cash or change.

THANK YOU

The Malvern Public Library wishes to extend its heartfelt gratitude to recent Board of Trustees retirees, Bonnie Pierce, John Downey and Tom Winchester, for their many years of service both to the library and to the surrounding community. Their dedication to literacy and learning are a true testament to the city of Malvern's patronage and love of the arts. Thank you for all of your hard work!
