If you lost your library card, have one that has lapsed since childhood or have just moved to the area, come in and register. You will get a colorfully designed card that will allow you to borrow materials from 11 other local libraries with no extra driving.

Children must be accompanied by a parent. Everyone who renews or opens a library card this week will receive a free children’s book.

Happy 150th anniversary, Coplay!

Come into the library to see the displays of items, many generously lent to the library, to help mark this milestone. You can also view the items from the recent time capsule opening.

If you have any photographs, mementos or keepsakes of Coplay, we would love to display them. Anything you could tell us about the objects would also be a great help. We will display your name with the items if you wish. If you have any items, call the library or stop in.

During the month of April, we will be highlighting the 1969 Centennial and subsequent important historical events.
