The Moses Taylor HealthInfo Library, the first of its kind in Lackawanna County, is dedicated to helping the community obtain answers to health questions. The library, located in the hospital lobby, provides a wide range of non-technical health information in the form of books, videotapes, brochures, publications and Internet access. The library and its services are free to the public, thanks to the fund raising efforts of the Moses Taylor Foundation. Items in the library can be borrowed and packets of information can be mailed to your home.
