News @ UPVL!
Library Service Updates - Building Closed
The library is currently offering CURBSIDE PICKUP ONLY. The building is not open to the public. We are taking this action with an abundance of caution as COVID cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in our community. We will re-evaluate the situation in mid-January.
While our buildings are closed, we will continue to offer telephone reference services, curbside pickup, and 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 are not offering in-library computer use at this time.
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.
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!
January Book Challenge
CHALLENGE: Listen to a story every day in January!
Each week you will find a room with books in it. These will be posted on our Facebook page and our library website. The room will change each week.
This week's room:
Oliver Jeffers Room
◊ Pick one book each day and watch the video. Mark on your sheet that you listened to the story.
◊ Every week one of the stories will be read by a guest reader. Write their name in the special guest reader box.
◊ If you listen to a story every day, you can bring your sheet to the library and you will get a certificate and be able to pick out 2 books from the free book bin. If you find all 4 guest readers, you will get another free book!
Click the link below to download your sheet, or you can pick one up during curbside 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 or during open library hours while supplies last. Just ask!
