Local Library Building Closed

Returns to curbside pickup and adds exciting new services

Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, the Township Library of Lower Southampton building is closed to the public, but exceptional service will continue from a distance.

Curbside Service

Curbside pickup is still open. Hours have been expanded for your convenience. Curbside service will now be available Monday-Thursday from 10am-2pm. It will continue to be available in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-7pm and on Saturdays from 10am-1pm.

Returns

Please continue to return your books to our outside bookdrops, so they can go into quarantine. Remember that they will be there for 5-7 days before they are checked in and taken off your account. At the end of the quarantine period, items will be backdated and those fines will then drop off your account. DO NOT RENEW the items if you returned them. This WILL cause fines on the quarantine days that will not drop off when staff check them in. If the item is too big to fit in the bookdrop, please call the library to make arrangements at 215-355-1183.
