Library Closing After December 4

Our librarian Lydia Arant has resigned, and we have not yet hired a new librarian. The libraries at the Downtown and North Campuses will be closed for the rest of December 2020.

COVID-19 Update

• Library materials can be requested by emailing Lydia Arant (you can browse the collection online) and arranging to pick up the items at the Downtown or North Campuses. When you receive confirmation from Lydia, pick up materials Mondays–Fridays, 10am–4pm (Downtown Campus Reception Desk, 4th Floor, or North Campus book cart outside the Library).
• Library items can now be returned at the Downtown Campus (return box on 4th Floor) and at the North Campus (return box outside the Library).

Online Catalog

With our online catalog, you can reserve books or renew checked-out items online if you are registered with the Bethlehem Library and log in with your ID and password. (You may also ask a library worker to reserve items for you.) We will notify you by e-mail when your items are ready for pickup at your campus library. You can also write book reviews on the online catalog.

If you have trouble logging in, please contact the librarian or talk to a library worker.

Register as a Library Patron

Simply fill out a registration form at the library. You will receive a library card and password so that you can have library privileges at both the Downtown and North campuses.

After checking out books and materials, you may return them to either campus library. (Please do not return church library items to a public library.)

Book Donations

We are grateful for donations. However, we need to be selective in the items we accept. Please have your items pre-approved by the librarian before dropping them off at the library. Donations must be in excellent condition. (For more details, see the Library Brochure available in the library.) Library staff is under no obligation to accept or use unsolicited donations.

Fines

Fines begin to accrue after an 8-day grace period at a rate of 5¢ per item per day. Fines go toward purchase of new library resources. Please talk to a library worker if you have trouble paying.
