Whitehall Township Public Library will be closed Dec. 24 and 25 for the Christmas holiday and will close 1 p.m. Dec. 31 and be closed all day Jan. 1, 2019.
We wish all of our patrons a blessed and happy 2019!

The library will have new hours beginning Jan. 2, 2019. The library will be open 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Stop by the library and pick up a magnet or handout with the new hours.

The library is selling heavy, cloth book bags at the front desk. They are navy blue with library information written in white lettering.
You can also buy a heavy-duty WTPL ice scraper at the front desk. They are available in black, red and blue and make great stocking stuffers.
Don’t forget to purchase your WTPL pocket- and purse-size 2019 calendars as well!
***
Homemade bookmarks with art work done by Lehigh Valley Decorative Painters are on sale at the library. Bookmarks are 8 inches by 2 inches, and each one is painted differently.
Proceeds go to the library programming fund.
Thank you to the members of Lehigh Valley Decorative Painters for their support of the library.

If the library is closed because of holidays or bad weather, patrons still have access to e-books, downloadables and other resources. Please make sure your library card is current to use these resources from your home computer at any time.
