About Us

Philosophy & Vision

Peck Memorial Library opens its doors to the community to create open access to information, open spaces for creative exploration, and open minds to explore possibilities. The library joins with residents of the Marathon School District to make our community a strong, vibrant, inclusive place to live, work and grow.

At Peck Memorial Library, we aspire to offer material, programs, and services that promote a love of reading, a joy of learning, and a place where people come together to share discovery, imagination, knowledge, and creativity.

Its Vision is a community where people gather, connect, grow, and discover, reflecting its role as a central hub for community life. 

Full Service

Peck Memorial Library (PML) provides comprehensive access to both physical and digital resources, allowing patrons to borrow books, e-books, audiobooks, DVDs, and use local Wi-Fi, and public computers.

Finger Lakes Library System

PML is a member of the Finger Lakes Library System (FLLS). That means if you are a member of one, you have access to all.

If your search of the FLLS catalog yields no results, you can search the WorldCat database through the Public Access Catalog (PAC) to access the resources of other public, school, academic, and special library collections nationwide. FLLS, through participation in the WorldShare Inter-Library Loan (ILL) network, will request the item on your behalf.

Operation / Regulation / Reporting

Our dedicated Staff operates under the guidance of a Board of Trustees which which is composed of community members and typically meets once per month.

By law, PML Policies must be formal, and be available to the public for review.

An Annual Report to the community, which outlines activities, income and costs, must also be available to the public.
