Lower Macungie Library

This is without any questions a little slice of heaven located in Macungie, Pennsylvania! The landscaping, wildlife, and walkway will bring a sense of serenity should you choose the path (WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND). For any seekers of knowledge the library itself is a dream come true! They also have a unique assortment of some foreign literature which you don't see so often. It has been remodeled in the past few years so, I for one was truly impressed!

It's a LOVELY library. I'd personally like to see more new items. They do have new arrivals but my hometown library in Ohio has a MUCH LARGER new arrival section. I am an avid reader so I go through books quicker than most readers do.

Facility is nice but is not inclusive to working families. Not open on Sundays, closes at 5 on most days, leaving only Saturday to bring your kids to get books or participate. Would rate higher if it was more accommodating to those not privileged enough to be able to go during the week

I frequent libraries for my young children, and this one is easily my least favorite of the lehigh valley library cooperative. Top of my list of complaints is that there's a tablet right at the entry of the kids' section. All of my children are under 5 years old and expectedly don't listen the first time. So try as I may to instruct them away from it, they always run to it. I do not take my young children to a library to have them be on a tablet! Good grief. Second, the toys are just about the most disgusting set of toys I've seen at a library. I don't think they've ever been cleaned in any capacity. Third, library visits for us often look like me, the parent, browsing titles to take home while the kids play. The setup at this library is not at all conducive to this task. They have bigger kid titles, chapter books, novels, and reference right by the play/toy area. Meanwhile, the picture books for younger kids stretch back into a hallway. Therefore, I'm limited to being able to browse only a few shelves of picture books; if I venture any further, then my young children are no longer in my line of vision.
