Serving the Marysville area, the Marysville – Rye Public Library at 198 Overcrest Road stands as a cornerstone institution for the communities of Marysville Borough, Rye Township, and even residents from adjacent areas like Duncannon and Shermans Dale who frequently cross the Susquehanna River for services. This facility, strategically positioned just two blocks north of the historic Main Street corridor and a mere 0.7 miles from the Marysville Bridge, is far more than a repository of books; it’s a dynamic community center, fostering literacy, digital inclusion, and now, international travel readiness. Its location on Overcrest Road, near the intersection with Summit Drive, places it at a convenient nexus for both local foot traffic and those driving in from surrounding rural communities. The library’s red brick facade and welcoming archway have been a familiar sight to generations of residents. Its robust community engagement is evident through its various programs, from the popular ‘Rye Readers’ children’s story time every Tuesday at 10:30 AM to the ‘Tech Tuesdays’ digital literacy workshops for seniors held weekly in the downstairs community room. These initiatives cater to a broad demographic, including young families from the Overcrest Heights neighborhood, working professionals commuting via Route 11/15, and retired residents from the Susquehanna Vista apartment complex along Water Street.
Established in 1968, the library initially operated out of a modest storefront on Main Street, a testament to Marysville’s post-World War II growth and a burgeoning civic pride. The current, purpose-built structure on Overcrest Road was completed in 1974, made possible by a concerted community fundraising effort and a significant bequest from the local Kunkel family, prominent philanthropists with deep roots in Rye Township’s agricultural history. Over the decades, the library has continually adapted to the evolving needs of its patrons. For instance, the transition to offering passport acceptance services in 2012 was a direct response to feedback from local businesses, such as those along Valley Road, whose employees often needed travel documents for international conferences or supplier visits, and families planning vacations abroad. Prior to this, Marysville residents faced a minimum 30-minute drive to facilities in Harrisburg or Carlisle, a significant logistical hurdle for many, especially during typical work hours. The library’s leadership recognized this gap and stepped up to fill it, extending its public service mandate into a critical area of federal government assistance.
Beyond passport services, the library boasts an extensive collection, including local history archives meticulously maintained in the Penn Room on the second floor, documenting Marysville’s railroad heritage and the impact of the Susquehanna River. These archives are regularly utilized by students from Marysville Elementary School on Maple Avenue for local history projects and by genealogy enthusiasts tracing their family lines. The main reading room, with its tall windows overlooking Overcrest Road, provides a tranquil space for study and research, often frequented by students from Susquenita High School. The library also hosts regular author events, local art exhibits showcasing talent from areas like the Clarks Ferry region, and workshops on topics ranging from gardening to financial literacy. The integration of the passport acceptance service into this thriving community hub means that individuals seeking to apply for or renew a passport are not just completing a bureaucratic task; they are engaging with a trusted, familiar institution. The staff, known for their friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of library resources, extend this same level of dedicated service to passport applicants. The convenience of having this service available locally saves residents valuable time and fuel, reinforcing the library’s role as an indispensable community resource that truly understands and addresses the specific needs of its Marysville and Rye Township neighbors.

Located at MARYSVILLE – RYE PUBLIC LIBRARY at 198 OVERCREST ROAD. Easy access from major highways.
Parking for the Marysville – Rye Public Library is straightforward and generally ample, making your passport appointment less stressful. The most convenient option is the dedicated, free 38-space paved parking lot situated directly behind the library building. Access to this lot is easily found by turning west off Overcrest Road onto Pine Street, then making an immediate left into the library’s lot. These spaces are well-marked, and approximately four accessible parking spots are positioned closest to the rear entrance, which also features a ramp for easy access. During peak library hours, typically Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday mornings, this lot can fill up, so arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment is a wise strategy. Should the main lot be full, street parking is available along Overcrest Road itself, primarily on the east side across from the library. These are generally unrestricted, free spaces, though availability can vary. Alternatively, there are often open spots on Summit Drive, just one block south of the library, offering additional free parking options within a 0.15-mile walk. During winter months, especially after a snowfall, be mindful that street parking might be limited due to plowing, and the library’s lot can occasionally have icy patches, so wear appropriate footwear. In the summer, the main lot offers some shaded spots provided by mature oak trees along its perimeter, a small comfort during humid Pennsylvania afternoons.
Public transportation options to the Marysville – Rye Public Library are somewhat limited, reflecting Marysville’s smaller borough status, but still viable for those who plan accordingly. The primary transit provider is Capital Area Transit (CAT). While Marysville does not have extensive city bus routes, CAT’s Route 50 (Marysville/Duncannon Link) serves the area with a few daily runs. The closest bus stop to the library is located at the intersection of Main Street and Valley Road, approximately 0.4 miles or a 7-minute walk from the library. From this stop, you would walk north on Valley Road, turn right onto Main Street, and then left onto Overcrest Road for two blocks until you reach the library at 198 Overcrest. Service frequency on Route 50 is typically hourly during weekday peak times (7:00-9:00 AM and 4:00-6:00 PM) but drops to every 90 minutes during off-peak hours and Saturdays, with no Sunday service. A single ride costs $1.75, payable in exact cash, or you can use a CAT Day Pass for $4.00. All CAT buses are wheelchair accessible, equipped with ramps or lifts and designated seating areas. For those relying on public transit, consulting the latest CAT schedule online or via their app before your passport appointment is highly recommended to ensure timely arrival.
