Need to use a computer to search for information or make prints?

We have six public access computers for you to use. Just show your library card at the front desk when you come into the library.

If you don’t have a library card, it only takes a few minutes to get one. All you need is a form of ID, like a driver’s license.

Library cards are free and can be used at 12 libraries in Lehigh and Carbon counties.

For more information, call the library or check our website.

Do you have books that are gently read that you would like to donate to the library? We are happy to accept them, and you do not have to wait until a book sale is announced to bring them in. We also accept DVDs and CDs.

For your safety, drop them off at the circulation desk during open hours.

We no longer accept VHS tapes, encyclopedias or textbooks, as well as torn, dirty, marked or written-in items. We cannot get odors, such as smoke, mildew or mold, out of books. We also cannot sell out-of-date books, such as medical books.

Call the library or see our website for our donation guidelines.

If you want to know if you have a book that has monetary value before donating it, try starting with bookfinder.com.

Our next sale will be in April 2023.

We always have fiction and nonfiction books, CDs, DVDs and seasonal items for sale in between our fall and spring sales. Prices are the same as the big sales.
