They have now changed they're hours, all computers are now available + the amount of time that an individual is aloud on the computer to a single hour. You can now visit the library with or without a mask 😷 if you want to.

To be clear, you should place the books INSIDE the book return. The return box is located outside the library but the books go inside the book return. Thanks!

How may I donate books and magazine?

Maria Tirado | Sep 29, 2020
Lancaster Public Library | Sep 29, 2020

We are not currently accepting donated books at this time. The Friends of Lancaster Public Library have run out of room to sort, process, and store any additional items at the Book ReSort. They will be ready to accept donations after the BIG Book Sale in mid-August. We will make an announcement (probably in early September) when we are ready to resume. We do not accept magazines.

Can i print Amazon return labels off my phone at the library?

Colette Hostetter | Sep 29, 2020
Kurasu Bureiku (Krahs Jiji) | Sep 29, 2020

Not necessarily, you would need to be able to access their public computers. You can do so by grabbing a guest pass or gaining a library card. So you would need a valid email address to print whatever you need; there is no wireless printing.

tony reyes | Sep 29, 2020

Is there WiFi access for personal laptops?

Ory Cordero | Sep 30, 2019
