Staff is improved compared to years ago. Sometimes the homeless hang out there. You get 3 45 min sessions of computer time online.

I love coming here and I try to come here as much as I can. The library is easy to navigate, and the employees are friendly for the most part. It is kept very clean and there are plenty of computers, tables, and chairs to sit. The book selection seems very limited.. I was able to donate brand new science books and I will continue to donate as many books as I can to help expand their selection. The customers that frequent this place are often loud so it is difficult to study. But, I've seen employees speak to them about it.. but people just don't follow rules, and I can imagine that it is difficult to enforce rules.

Hi Mayra!

Just make sure that, if you do not have a state issued ID or driver’s license and you are bringing a school ID, that you also bring a letter with your address as proof of address.

Hi, I'm in desperate need of a safe quiet place to access wifi. I'm falling behind on Unemployment requirements due to no internet access. Is WiFi available? Is there a cost? May I use my own laptop? Thank you.

Chantel Marrero | Nov 10, 2018
Allentown Public Library (Owner) | Nov 11, 2018

Hi! Yes, we do have free WiFi access available to anyone. You don't even need a library card! You can use any laptop or mobile device, you just need to get a user name and password from a self-service printer located at the reference desk on the first floor. This no-cost WiFi has a strong connection throughout the whole building, and is available during all hours the library is open and for about 30 minutes after we close. We also have free computers available for use three times a day for anyone with a library card.
