Welcome
We’re so glad you’re here!
Our website has a brand-new look, but don’t worry—all the great information about our programs, services, and resources is still available. It’s now easier to find and more accessible.
This refresh was designed as part of our commitment to creating a user-friendly experience where ideas flourish and connections are made.
Take a look around—you might even discover something new about what Severn Township Public Library has to offer you!
Library services in the village date back to the 1800’s when this was an Indian Village called Gis-se-nau-se-bing (cold river) and lending books brought from Scotland were kept in the Indian Agent’s home.
Several other village locations housed books before the present library was built in 1937, as a memorial by the Sheppard family, to their parents Wm. Sheppard and Mary Ellen Buchanan.
