There is no time limit to the program, and more than one child can participate.

Check out our selection of fiction and nonfiction books for sale. We also have CDs, DVDs and puzzles. Look for them on the shelves under the circulation desk and on the sale cart. Ask if you need assistance.

We accept donations of books, DVDs, CDs and puzzles all year. See our donations policy on our website, coplaypl.org, or call the library for details.

Drop off donations at the circulation desk during open hours. Do not leave donations at the front door.

If you need to use a computer to search for information or print something, we have six public access computers for you to use. The library also has a fax machine and copier for public 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.

***

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

While our road crews try to keep the roads clean and safe, all of us have had experiences driving or walking on some winter weather days. The library does not follow the school schedule for closings. We list early and full-day closings on WFMZ television, on wfmz.com/stormcenter and on our Facebook page. Check those sources before making the trip here.

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