This year, Kreutz Creek Library, 66 Walnut Springs Road, Hellam, is celebrating its 40th anniversary serving the residents of eastern York County and beyond. Since 1979, the library has served the community from a 1,200square-foot FEMA trailer. More than 40,000 visitors were welcomed through the small library’s doors in 2018. The library had originally considered constructing a new building to provide more space. However, in March, Hellam Township supervisors voted to construct a new township facility on their Walnut Street campus and to allow
the library to use their current municipal building. The library will grow more than seven times in size when it moves from its 1,200-square-foot FEMA trailer into the adjacent 8,800-square-foot Hellam Township building. Friends of See Kreutz Creek Library pg 9
