That's great for OP and kudos to Chester County. Good staff in any library or society represent such an underappreciated resource in any community.

I grew up in a very rural PA community with no library whatsoever at a time that the internet wasn't yet in widespread use and from personal experience libraries and historical/genealogical societies matter.
