We are the Pittsville Branch of the Wicomico County Public Library located in Pittsville Maryland on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland! As of January 17th 2007 we were 1 year old. We are currently a small temporary space located on the grounds of the Pittsville School, but we hope to someday grow into a larger library and continue to be a positive resource for the people of Pittsville, Parsonsburg, Willards and surrounding areas. We love books and people who love books and our staff are four really cool ladies (Mrs. Sue, Erin, Christy and Kerry) who are always willing to help. We currently have 6 computers for kids and adults to use. We offer weekly computer tutor sessions on everything from the basics of how to use a computer to more complicated software applications like Microsoft Publisher and Excel and more. We have a Wii that anyone can come in and use at any time and we have ongoing children and adult programs and holiday events. So if you haven't been here, stop in and check us out, you don't know what you are missing! And stay tuned to this site for more exciting news and information!
