Welcome to the Whitehall Township Public Library!

Museum Passes: The library now offers museum passes to check out! Passes are checked out for one week with no renewals and can only be checked out at Whitehall Library. You may place a hold on a pass. All passes must be returned to Whitehall Library at the circulation desk. Overdue fines are $10.00 a day. Current offerings: America on Wheels, Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles, Bucks County Children's Museum, Eastern State Penitentiary, Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum, Museum of American Revolution, Mutter Museum, Pearl S. Buck, Reading Museum, & Sigal Museum.

Inside the Library:

• See our About Us page for current hours.
• You can return items to the drop box at our front desk during our open hours or to the yellow parking lot drop boxes at any time.
• You can come into the library to check out items, but we also offer a curbside pickup option.

Curbside Pickup: You can place holds on items by calling our front desk or using this website. To request items online, you can log into your account, search our catalog, click on the words "Place Hold" on the right side of the record, and submit your contact information. When anything arrives for you, we call you to schedule a pickup day. Then you can pick them up at our side door during business hours.

Donations:

• Books and Media: The library will take up to three bags or boxes of books or other media. (We need them to be in bags or boxes so we can easily stack and store them.) We can take most new or gently-used media except magazines, encyclopedias, VHS tapes, or cassettes.
• Other: We’re currently accepting donations of new or like-new items for our Basket Raffle (see below). We can also use large cans of disinfectant wipes, liquid hand sanitizer that can be used in spray bottles (70% alcohol or higher), and large bottles of gel-type hand sanitizer.

Events: Find information on our future programs on our Events Calendar. You can also check out archives of our virtual programs and at-home activities for kids, teens, and adults.

Fundraisers:

• We have a year-round Used Book Sale near our front desk, and you can find a price list at the bottom of our About Us page.
• The library will take part in Boscov's Friends Helping Friends. For a $5 donation to the library, shoppers receive a 25% off shopping pass for October 19, 2022. You can use this pass at any physical Boscov's store, though not online.
