WELCOME TO THE JOHN K. TENER LIBRARY

Genealogy

The library houses a collection of Charleroi High School Yearbooks ranging in year from 1940-2006. Current years to be added soon.

However, we currently have no Charleroi historical or genealogy records. Please contact the Historical Society for any questions. All items we receive are turned over to them for preservation. They can be reached at 724-483-2030, email nacs333@yahoo.com, or stopping at the library between 12:00 – 4:00 on Weds.
