We are disappointed to announce that there will not be a book sale in 2020. All fundraising for the rest of the year, apart from the sale of fabric masks, is cancelled.

Masks MUST be worn over both NOSE and  mouth when inside the building.

All incoming materials are quarantined for 7 days and disinfected before being released for circulation. We understand that this frustratingly creates longer wait times for items, but we want you to know that we are doing what is best for the health and safety of the community.

Service Change:

THERE IS NOW A STAY-AT-HOME ADVISORY FOR PENNSYLVANIA.

The Office of Commonwealth Libraries is not giving statewide mandates; it is up to local libraries to determine what is best for the safety of their communities and staff. Libraries follow the business model for COVID-19 procedures, not the school model.

As of Monday, November 30th, we will switch to the following model:
  • Physical materials will be available through curbside pickup ONLY.
  • The library will NOT be open for browsing.
  • Computer use is limited to 1 hour per day by appointment ONLY.
  • Programs will continue to be virtual and take-home.
  • Printing, copying, and faxing services will still be available. Please call before coming.
  • Appointments may be booked on Facebook or through email of phone call.
  • Staff, volunteers, or patrons will NOT be allowed to enter if they have travelled outside the state or had out-of-state visitors (2 week quarantine or negative COVID test required).
  • Staff will be available during regular open hours to answer any requests or questions you may have.

Curbside Service Continues

As Lehigh County is an area of substantial spreading for the coronavirus, we return to curbside service for the safety of our community and staff.
Process:
  1. ​Call, email, or place holds directly on your account using our online catalog.
  2. Staff will call when your items are ready.
  3. When you arrive, please call the library to notify staff.
  4. Your items will then be brought out to you.
