Small library but lots to offer. All the librarians that have helped me are full of knowledge and great suggestions. You can order items from other libraries and they usually arrive for pickup the following Wednesday. You can check out free passes to local museums. The building is a little challenging if you are handicap but the librarian is happy to help you. There is a small elevator that goes up to the upper level but not to the bottom floor, no automatic front door and some of the sidewalks in the area are uneven. There is free parking on the street. The building is beautiful and very comfortable to sit and read.

Great little library house in a historic building that was constructed as a church. Part of the Bucks County Library system, all these resources are available at this branch location.

Spectacular renovation of the borough library. The renovation was completed in early 2016 and as of April 12, 2016 the shelves are fully stocked. New since the renovation is a Dremel 3-D printer.The Nakashima furniture remains in the upper level reading room and a lift has been added to ensure access to the basement children's area, the main level, and the operating room.
