Bethlehem Public Library — Attraction in Town of Bethlehem

Really great library. Easy parking, book donation bin, book return bin, multiple outside pick up spots. One way traffic. Awesome to be able to go back inside. Entryway beautifully displayed with the local school's k-12 art. Always beautiful images to look at here. Local children's projects inside. Spaces for privacy, meetings, and tutoring. Has a nice newsletter. At the information desk, there is an excellent selection of free seeds for planting, a very smooth process on how to get them, and a helpful binder on best planting conditions. There's also so many free rentals of electronics, instruments, technical tools and equipment, and museum/park passes.
