The Priestley-Forsyth Memorial Library, also known as the Dr. Joseph Priestley House or Cross Keys Inn, in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]

It was built as an inn in 1820, and purchased in about 1880 by the theologian and scientist Joseph Priestley's great grandson Dr. Joseph Priestley. Dr. Priestley used it as a home and medical office. It was made into a public library about 1925.[2]

It is located at 100 King Street in Northumberland, at the corner of Front Street (Route 11). It is within the Northumberland Historic District, which also includes the Joseph Priestley House.
