📖 About Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Library

Berkeley County sits in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, bordered by Virginia and Maryland and home to communities that have long relied on this library system for reading, research, and community connection. The Martinsburg main branch — the flagship of the four-location system — celebrated 100 years of continuous service, a milestone that reflects deep roots in a county that has grown substantially in recent decades as a hub between the Washington D.C. metro and the rural Eastern Panhandle. The library system operates branches in Hedgesville, the Musselman South-Berkeley Community Library, and the North Berkeley Library, extending service to residents throughout the county. Cardholders can borrow physical materials or tap into a growing digital collection through Libby, read along with children using Tumblebooks, and track reading goals via the Beanstack platform.
