Adult Programming Header

Adult Services aims to provide fun, engaging and informative programs for Adult patrons (19+) of the Warren Public Library.

Our programs are made possible thanks to the generous donations made during our Annual Fundraiser.

If a program requires registration, it will be indicated below.  Registration will open 30 days in advance of the program and close 24 hours before the program.

If you have questions or need assistance with registering for a program, please stop by the Reference Room on the second floor of the library, call (814) 723-4650 and follow the prompts for Reference/Adult Services, or email adult@warrenlibrary.org
