The Greensburg Hempfield Area Library, located approximately 30 miles Southeast of Pittsburgh in the city of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, is the public library for approximately 70,000 people. While GHAL is a nonprofit corporation and has no formal legal ties to any municipality, it is recognized by the state of Pennsylvania as the public library serving the communities and citizens of the Greensburg Salem School District, Hempfield Area School District, the city of Greensburg, Hempfield Township, and the boroughs and/or municipalities of Southwest Greensburg, South Greensburg, Youngwood, New Stanton, Hunker, Madison, Adamsburg, Arona, and Salem Township. The library’s governing body, the Board of Trustees, is comprised of individuals who live in the library’s service areas and representatives appointed from the supporting local governments and school districts.
In March 2023, the Greensburg Hempfield Area Library began the process of becoming a Family Place library. The library offers a playspace for families in our Children's Library any time that the library is open. We have a Parenting Collection of resources that is available to borrow. We offer the "Play Learn Connect" series of Parent Child workshops periodically throughout the year.
