The POWER Library really does have resources for all ages!

For years now, Pennsylvania residents have had free access to online educational resources through their local public libraries and the state-funded POWER Library collection. Some years those materials have been aimed at elementary, middle, and high school students. Then more resources were added for students in college. Now there are great resources for adults, too! All you need to use them is your Pottsville Free Public Library card number.

Accurate, authoritative, and up to date service and repair information for thousands of domestic and imported vehicles. Includes step-by-step repair information, diagrams, and maintenance schedules.

This family history research database includes billions of historical documents from 48 countries, millions of historical photos, US Census records, passenger lists and immigration records, and a variety of other public records.

Discover job resources for job seekers and employers, which are designed to help you find a good career and review job openings. There are also resources specifically for veterans that will help them transition into the work force by translating their existing military skills into civilian terms.

This is a free and growing collection of tutorials in Niche Academy on how to use software, social media, and library resources. There are also job related tutorials, self help and wellness tutorials, and genealogy topics.

Find detailed repair guides for all types of small engines such as ATVs, generators, motorcycles, lawn mowers, and more, both routine maintenance assistance and more extensive repairs. Search by brand, engine type, or specific model numbers.

Whether you are a language learning beginner or dusting off your high school language lessons, this is a great place to learn new languages. Log in as a guest to try it out, or create an account for more guidance and to track your progress. Some languages also have a “KidSpeak” version for younger learners, or offer multiple dialects.
