A PA Forward Gold Star Library
This is a full-service library providing 22,000 card holders with over 120,000 print and non-print items including books, magazines, music, and movies.
Our annual library attendance is over 200,000 (an average of more than 700 persons per day)! 70% of the township's 39,304 residents are library cardholders. Clearly, it's a popular place to be.
The library completed a large expansion project in Fall 2006. We have now tripled in size - come check out our new materials, services, and space.

Volunteer your time at the library!
Help keep the shelves organized at the Northampton Township Library by becoming an Adopt-A-Shelf volunteer. This is a flexible volunteer opportunity that can be done whenever the library is open. You can monitor your assigned area as frequently as seems warranted and at your own scheduling convenience. This is an ideal job for a volunteer who cannot commit to a set schedule and needs extremely flexible volunteer hours.
Tasks include making sure books are in order on the shelf, finding books that belong to other branches and checking the condition of the books.
We are currently looking for several volunteers to shelve books on a regular schedule. It is requested that volunteers come in at least once a week for 1 or 2 hours.
Applications are available to print off online or can be obtained at the Circulation Desk.
