Residents - The following is
from the Village Library.
We've recently
received questions from our
patrons about accessing
library materials and want
to provide some
clarification. Our
library is part of the Berks
County Public Library
System, but we serve patrons
from nearby municipalities,
including residents from
Berks, Chester, and
Lancaster
counties. In 2020, the systemwide Borrowing
Policy was revised to expand
access to library physical
collections. Berks
County libraries will
continue to allow any
Pennsylvania resident to
have access to books, DVDs,
and all other physical items
from our collection, as well
as all library programs and
computer/internet
connections. However,
the policy also states that
access to the shared
countywide digital
collection would only be
available to individuals who
live, work, or attend school
within the county. If you’ve
recently experienced
difficulty when accessing
the library’s digital
collection but live, work,
or attend school in Berks
County, please reach out and
call us at 610-286-1022 and
ask to speak with Carol.

KEYSTONE
Caernarvon Township Tax ID is: 151001
The Chester Tax Collection Committee (CTCC) recently appointed Keystone Collections Group to serve as the Earned Income Tax (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) collector for school and municipal taxing authorities within Twin Valley School District. This important change was brought about under Act 32 of 2008. Act 32 requires municipal governments and school districts in all Pennsylvania counties, except Philadelphia, to select a single tax collector to serve the Earned Income Tax collection needs of the political subdivisions.
