The Fredericksen Library has been one of the libraries I've taken my kids to for almost 12 years,…read moreand it continues to be one of our favorites. One of the things I love most is that the children's library has its own downstairs entrance, which makes it really easy when you're visiting with little kids. As soon as you walk in, the information desk is right at the front, and the self-checkout stations are conveniently located on the right, making grabbing and returning books quick and simple. The children's area itself is bright and welcoming, with tons of windows and natural light, which makes it feel open and calm instead of crowded. My kids especially love the play area, and there's plenty to keep them busy. Some of the highlights include: * Interactive wall activities where kids can flip pieces, match items, and move little balls through tracks * Puppet theater play * Interactive computers * A fish tank they enjoy checking on * A coloring area * A wide variety of books for different ages There's also lots of seating, which makes it easy for parents to sit and read while the kids explore. They host storytimes in the children's library, and there's also a separate room used for programs and events. Even when we're not attending a scheduled program, the play space alone easily keeps my kids entertained for an hour or more. Another thing I appreciate is how family-friendly the layout is. Inside the children's library there are two bathrooms with changing tables, which is incredibly convenient when you're visiting with little ones. There's also an additional larger restroom outside of the children's area with stalls and another changing table. Parking is easy, with street parking near the lower-level entrance and a parking lot available as well. Outside the children's library there's extra seating, and depending on when you visit, the library café is open with really reasonable prices for coffee and snacks, which is a nice bonus during longer visits. This is definitely one of those places where we can easily stay for a few hours between playing, reading books, and just enjoying the space. After visiting for so many years, it's still one of our go-to libraries, and I know we'll keep coming back.

This library is such a wonderful resource & staple for the Camp Hill community!…read more The selection of books for adults is truly amazing! They also have a wonderful children's library as well! The staff is always so helpful, kind, and friendly! From having to pay fines or even just asking a general question everyone who I have interacted with has been very helpful! The story times are also very wonderful! Amy who reads to the kids is always so positive, fun, and outgoing allowing the kids to really get into the story and songs to have a great time! They have story time two days every week & they are always so great! I definitely would recommend if you have a little one to check out the story times! What's also great about this library is that it is apart of the Cumberland County Libraries! So if you want a specific book, but it's at a different location you can still request it because of being apart of the county libraries! Definitely check this library out if you haven't!

My children enjoy spending hours here and it's very popular on rainy days among parents. I'm very glad I found this library!

The front desk person was very soft spoken and pleasant. I didn't feel judged for my library card shortcomings. After the documents were printed, they let my partner pay for them but wouldn't release them to them. That feels very professional and secure. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet save for the occasional excited toddler bouncing around. There's the bookery which is not only clean and cozy but stunningly fancy looking, kind of like a little palace. Items bought there are yours to keep. The prices are more than reasonable, some of the stuff is antiques. There's a teen wing, non-fiction, a chess board, dvds, sensory items, and a few free shelves. But so much more! There's useful documents everywhere, from a library-offered self-guided scavenger hunt to incredibly helpful mental health resources. Bathrooms are clean and open to the public. I recommend the summer reading program for kids, mine did it for a few years. It's incredibly rewarding for them. Bosler will always be my favorite library. Maybe I'm biased, but I think it deserves every bit of its praise. I will always go here.

Seating/table space was hard to come by as many patrons, some clearly homeless, were using them as a place to sleep. By far the most difficult instance was a profoundly mentally ill young man. He was running back and forth through the library, running very near other patrons who were clearly startled and upset, yelling at his laptop. He did this next to the service desk and no one so much as raised an eye. I assumed he was a regular. The actual collection seemed pointed to a much younger demographic with board games, video game stations, videos, music, and large displays of graphic novels. If you are looking for older books or classics, you will be disappointed. As I was there to research a topic of historical Christianity, I was shocked at how little was available. If you fit the demographic, you will most likely be happy if the noise doesn't bother you. If you are middle aged and hoping to use the library for basic research, you will be better served somewhere else. I grew up using this library but am saddened to see what it has become.
