If you have any gently read books or working CDs or DVDs and would like to donate them to the library, you do not have to wait until the fall or spring book sales to do so. We accept donations all year.

See our donations policy on our website, coplaypubliclibrary.org. For your safety, drop off donations at the circulation desk during open hours.

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

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.

Look for the sale shelves and the special book sale cart at the front of the circulation desk.

Need to use a computer to search for information or print something? We have six public access computers for you to use. You just need to show your library card at the front desk when you come into the library.

If you do not 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 may be used at 12 libraries in Lehigh and Carbon counties.

For more information, check our website or call the library at 610-262-7351.

If you can’t make it into the library, use the Libby app for thousands of free reading materials. You’ll need your library card number and your PIN.
