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. Cards are valid for use at county-member libraries in Berks County (including Reading Public Library and the County Bookmobile), and Reading Area Community College. 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. 


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.
