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

See our donations policy on our website, coplaypubliclibrary.org. For your safety, drop donations off 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 at the front of the circulation desk and on a special book sale cart at the front of the circulation desk. Just ask if you have trouble locating them.

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

It’s almost spring, but we may still have days when we have to close early or for the entire day for everyone’s safety. While our local and state road crews have done a wonderful job in keeping the roads clean, there may still be times we must close.

We do not follow the school schedule for closings. We list closings on WFMZ television and wfmz.com/stormcenter and on our Facebook page. Check those sources before you make a trip here.

***

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.

***

The library hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
