Lehigh County’s gone green — and that means we’re making final preparations to welcome you back inside the library starting Monday, July 6th!

Below are the guidelines you’ll need to follow to enter and use the library. Curbside pickup will continue for those who feel more comfortable having their materials brought outside.

- Please use hand sanitizer located just inside the entrance. Sanitizer is also located at the front desk and computers.
- Be mindful of the items you touch. Please place items you are not checking out in designated areas.
