Library Service Updates
The library is currently offering and encouraging CURBSIDE PICKUP. Appointments are available for desktop computer use and in-person browsing. Please call the library for details and availability. We will continue to offer telephone reference services, our online resources, and virtual programs.
The book return box at the top of the ramp is open 24 hours for returns. Returned materials will be quarantined a minimum of 48 hours so you will still see them on your account for a few days after returning them. No fines will be charged for the quarantine days.
We are not accepting book donations at this time.
We apologize that hold requests are taking a little longer this week because of snow delays on the delivery routes.
Curbside Pickup
You may place electronic orders through our Search the Catalog button above. When you are notified that your materials have arrived, please call the library to arrange for curbside pickup. Your request may take longer as our volume of hold requests is significantly higher and we are quarantining returned books a minimum of 48-72 hours.
Video Story Time with Miss Wendy!
Miss Wendy has taken Story Time online! Follow the Upper Perkiomen Valley Library Facebook page to see weekly story times posted Tuesdays by 11am. Caregivers can pick up craft materials at the library to go with the Tuesday online story time. Miss Wendy has prepared a month's worth of crafts for pickup curbside while supplies last. Just ask!
30th Annual Wine Tasting
The Wine Tasting is going virtual this year- help us Raise the Roof!
Starts Monday, February 1
As conditions continue to be unsafe for large gatherings, we're saddened to have to postpone our annual wine tasting event for the year. However, in an effort to still come together virtually and offer our patrons a fun event this winter, we've created a virtual dinner party and wine tasting series in support of a new roof needed for our library building!

Embrace the Beautiful Chaos of Motherhood
Tuesday, March 23 @ 7:30 pm
