Book Sale - Every day in the meeting room

We have an ongoing book sale in the library meeting room. Amazing prices! Paperbacks as low as 25 cents, hardcover books for $2, many children's books and VHS tapes. There are new items coming in every day so keep checking back. All funds collected from the sale help to improve the quality of your library.


Playaway Digital Audio Books

Do you like listening to audiobooks? Playaways are self contained audio books which do not require any additional player. Ultra convenient and portable. Many great titles. You may use your own earbuds or headphones, or earbuds may be purchased from the library for a nominal fee. Playaways circulate for 3 weeks just like books-on-tape, and books-on-CD. Click here for a more detailed description.




Library Cards and Borrowing

Library cards may be issued to any Berks County resident upon presentation of identification. For those under 18, parental signature is required. A barcoded card is accepted at every automated library location. The Access Pennsylvania sticker allows borrowing at many other public libraries throughout the Commonwealth.


Information Services

Our library has staff trained to help you, the library patron, find the information you need. Staff answer questions in person or over the telephone, assisting students, researchers, the curious, do-it-yourselfers, and anyone else who needs information. 


Alternate Formats for Special Needs

In addition to large print and audio books, this library owns a Optelec Video Magnifier, an aid to individuals with impaired vision wishing to read standard format books and periodicals.


Services to Children and their Families

Each library has a collection of books, magazines, and other items geared for children from babyhood on up. Activities for children include Summer Reading programs, pre-school story hours, and special events at holidays and throughout the year. Contact the location nearest you for details.
