The Washington County Free Library is a public library system serving Washington County, Maryland, and the Cumberland Valley, with roots dating back to 1898. Its offerings span information resources and library materials in multiple formats to support individuals’ personal, educational, and professional needs. The system traces its origins to the establishment of the first bookmobile in the United States and is recognized as the second-oldest county-wide library system in the country. Based in Hagerstown, Maryland, the library operates as a mid-sized public institution governed by a Board of Trustees, and serves government, business, education, and community interests in the region. Its work emphasizes community enrichment and economic vitality through broad access to information. In early 2019, the Reach Program partnered with the library to provide free financial classes to residents of Washington County.
