Trail Town Libraries?

John from Pittsburgh, PA on 5/11/2014 3:20:30 PM:
One thing I haven't seen a list of in any C&O/GAP forum or guide books is what trail towns have public libraries? My phone has been unreliable with keeping a charge and I will not have a replacement in time for my trip. I am wondering what towns along the trail have libraries where I could send and check e-mail to stay in touch with family? Public libraries have served touring cyclists and long distance hikers well. I have to figure there is a list out there for the C&O/GAP that I haven't stumbled across yet. Thanks!

The thread was about libraries along the C&O/GAP. Care to list any?

Confluence's library closes at 2:00 PM. Frostburg's is open 'til 5:00, maybe later.

2 years ago I rode between PAW PAW Tunnel and Hancock and had no coverage on T Mobile. Maybe it's better now? Or maybe other providers are better.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like Hancock, MD has one too: Mon - Thu: 9am - 9pm, Fri: 9am - 6pm, Sat: 9am - 5pm, Sun: 1pm - 5pm. Cumberland, MD also has one: M-Th Monday 10am-8pm, F-Sat 10am-5pm, closed on Sunday.
