But my favorite thing about this branch is that they have tons of non-book items for children that can be loaned out such as puzzles, games, theme backpacks, lacing cards, etc. I use them for the children I work with and these items have been a huge help to me. The only downside of this branch is that they have a small collection of books due to space. However, you can request books from other locations throughout Lancaster County.

I first visited this library over the summer with my granddaughter when we were looking for…read moresomething different to do. While it's smaller than the Manheim Township branch it has an excellent children's department complete with (at the time) a play store, bins of train sets, blocks, etc. and a few ride on toys. Noticeably less crowded and with a comfy chair for the caretaker, it's easily a place to linger while your child plays safely. In addition to the free play toys there's several computers for children (toddler aged up) with learning games and such. I tried to get her interested in some of the games but they didn't hold her interest and quite honestly they were pretty lame. At a recent visit we noticed the play store was gone and replaced with a play kitchen so I believe the larger toys are rotated. What I especially like about this children's area is the backpacks and clear bags full of themed activities that you can check out. Some contain books in addition to games and puzzles on that theme, while others are just games and toys. I haven't seen these elsewhere and while I believe they have a shorter check out period it's a nice change from the toys you might have at home. While I haven't explored the adult section of the library I have taken advantage of the magazines and newspapers you can read in house. Additionally they offer movies and new book releases for check out. In the lobby there are bargain paperbacks for sale and free magazines for the taking. Grab a calendar of events at the check-out counter as they also offer activities (reading related as well as crafts and fun events) for both children and adult alike. I'm excited to attend the Cat in the Hat green eggs and ham breakfast next month which required advance purchase as some of their events do. SIDENOTE: Closed Fridays. Very handicap accessible with a ramp at the entrance and everything on one floor.

The library system is one of Lancaster County's best assets and probably most under utilized. As…read morea kid I loved the library and often participated in their summer programs in the city. Now as an adult living in the suburbs I still love the library. Mountville is closest to me and the one I visit most often. While this branch is smaller than others it still offers all the services the larger locations do. Reserve or request any book in the Lancaster County Library system and they will send it to your location of choice. You can also look up materials and reserve online. This location has several computers you can use for free with your library card access, as well as one children's computer. There is a daily time limit and I'm unsure if there's wiggle room to that policy. Wifi is complimentary so bring your own laptop if you'd like. They have a great selection of dvd's (current and classics) of both tv and movies you can rent for free. The daily paper is available as well as many current and past copies of various popular magazines. The children's area is small but they do offer some programs - check their calendar for details - as well as some toys to play with while visiting. For a smaller library it does get busy at times but the staff and volunteers alike do a great job of managing the flow. If you call however, be prepared to be placed on hold. SIDENOTE: For those with accessibility problems this might not be the location for you. While they do have a ramp to enter the library there's a number of steps to get to it. Parking is limited as well. Since there's a daycare adjacent parking can be problematic at times in their lot so avoid dismissal time if possible.

There's pros and cons to this place…read more Pros: - Staff are very nice and helpful - Parking is available, it is behind the building - Play center for kids - Computer lab, fax, books, videos Cons: - Play center is small and less kid friendly than the library in Hallam - Privacy - I've gone there and there are people on the phone talking about their relationships in the quiet area - Small - This is probably something they will have difficulty fixing, there are only 2 quiet rooms available and it's only available for 2 hours, which means mostly likely you can stay study or do work in the quiet room, but the issue is see above Overall: It's a good place for kids and parents and services, but it's not so good in terms of studying or reading as there are chances of disturbances.

Unhappy with the offerings in the Harrisburg area USPS passport service (open between 11 and 1 with lunch between 11.30 and 12.30-like service w/o appointments available) we started going here. You can call to schedule an appointment, after hours available! The clerks are very thorough and friendly and will ensure all the information being complete before they send your information off to the 'big machine'. As long as you pre-complete the necessary forms online, have your ducks-in-a-row and everything with you, you'll be in and out in under 15mins.
