The adult book club meets 6 p.m. Oct. 28. Join the Facebook group and keep your eye out for the Zoom link to be posted.

This month’s theme is the supernatural and spooky. Since the book club doesn’t discuss a specific book, choose any fiction or nonfiction book related to the theme.

Due to the borough’s concern for health and safety, the library will not be handing out treat bags Oct. 31.

However, feel free to stop by and show off your costumes. We will take pictures and post them to our social media, with parental consent.

Remember to wear your mask!

Join Miss Janice for storytime streamed on Facebook Live 11 a.m. each Thursday. She will be sharing Halloween stories and how to create your own mummy pizza Oct. 15.

Video links will be available if you can’t make it.

We still have previous storytime grab-and-go activities available, including idea jars, My Mask color and create booklets, my first library cards, fall pumpkin patch mazes, fall coloring sheets and Halloween trace and color packets.

All related storytimes remain posted on our Facebook page under videos.

High school and middle school students, we have free books for you! They are in the foyer and on shelves under the book return inside the library. Come in and browse through all of the different topics and themes.

The books are yours to keep, pass along to friends or family, donate to another organization of your choice or recycle.

All six public computers are now available for use. Each is surrounded by a plexiglass shield for your safety.

We are following the safety guidelines of the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the best our abilities. Everyone over the age of 2 is required to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Please wash your hands or use hand sanitizer while you are in the building.

We must protect each other and our community during these difficult times.

Curbside service is still available for patrons who can’t wear masks or other at-risk community members. To borrow materials, place holds directly on your account using our online catalog.

For assistance or further information, call 610-262-7351, email coplaypubliclibrary@gmail.com or see our website, coplaypubliclibrary.org.

All incoming materials are quarantined for seven days. The Lehigh-Carbon Library Cooperative is requiring all member libraries to follow this procedure, based on new information about the coronavirus on different library materials.

Please be patient if you are waiting for any holds.

You don’t have to leave your house to borrow books or magazines - you can use the Libby app or the Overdrive website. Just go to the library’s website and use your library card number and password to access Overdrive in the E-Resources tab or download the Libby app to your device.

More than 14,000 e-books and audios are available.

If you need help with your password, call the library at 610-262-7351.

While we will not have a book sale this year, we always have a collection of books, CDs and DVDs for sale on the shelves at the circulation desk. The selection changes regularly.

We have a limited amount of space to quarantine donated items, so please don’t ask us to take materials that don’t meet our guidelines. You will find the guidelines on our webpage, or you can ask for our new brochure. Pay special attention to the physical condition of the materials.

We can accept three bags or boxes of materials per household. Bring your donations when the library is open for the safety of all involved. Do not put any donations in the outside book drop. This space is needed for returns, which may include materials borrowed from other libraries.
