First some history from the Internet about the site…read more "Coplay Cement Company Kilns, also known as the Saylor Park Industrial Museum, is an open-air historic site located at Coplay, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The nine kilns were built in 1892-1893, and used for the production of Portland cement. They are constructed of locally produced red brick, and are known as Schoefer vertical kilns. They were shut down in 1904. The Coplay Cement Company donated the kilns and surrounding land to Lehigh County in 1975, for a cement industry museum. It is operated as a partnership between the County of Lehigh, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides educational services. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Saylor Cement Museum honors David Saylor (1827-1884), the father of the American Portland cement industry, and the people who built this industry into one of the most important in the Lehigh Valley and the nation. Lehigh County was a natural spot for cement production. Cement is made from rocks containing lime, silica, and alumina; Lehigh County limestone "cement rock" contains all three ingredients. In 1866 David O. Saylor helped found Coplay Cement Company. In 1871, he received the first American patent for Portland cement, which is much stronger than the natural cement that had previously been produced in this country. Saylor's Portland cement built bridges, docks, jetties, roads, aqueducts, subways, and skyscrapers. By 1900 the Lehigh Valley made 72% of Portland cement produced in this country. The first kiln at the Coplay Cement Company was a dome kiln. Dome kilns were inefficient; they had to shut down often. In 1893 Coplay Cement built Mill B, containing the Schoefer kilns standing today. Originally enclosed in a large building, Schoefer kilns could run continuously. Soon, however, the even more efficient rotary kilns came into use. Mill B's outdated Schoefer kilns shut down in 1904, and Coplay Cement later used Mill B's buildings for storage." The four main things at Saylor Park would the remnants of the kilns, the playground, the community pool and it's a spot where you can pick up the Ironton Rail Trail. The key to this site at this point in time is trying to save the kilns. Lehigh County is trying to obtain the money needed to save the old furnaces which appear to be the last Aalborg style kilns left in the world. The current work being done at the site is due to a $200,000 federal grant with Lehigh County kicking in an equal amount to finish the work on Kiln #1. While nice, a full restoration of all the kilns is estimated at somewhere around $5 million dollars which is money that right now does not exist. Hopefully over time some type of public-private partnership can be formed to get the rest of the work done but in the meantime the site can be enjoyed at a distance and the Rail Trail that cuts thru the park is a fantastic repurposing of an old rail line that would never have been used again. If you go: The outdoor historic site, playground and Rail Trail are open daily year-round from sunrise to sunset and the Coplay Community Pool is open seasonally. Plenty of free parking is on site.

This place is fantastic. Has a park and a bike trail that goes on for ever and a day. The old kilns…read moreor so fantastic. I felt like I was standing back in time. I recommend this place for anyone who want to get out and live. The history and modern meets here

This is probably, short of a few areas colleges, the nicest library in the LV by a long shot…read more * There's only one parking lot in the back of the building and while it's not too large, I've never had trouble finding a space although if you did I guess you would be parking on the street which around here is kind of sketch. * Nice longer hours being open until eight Monday thru Thursday. * Nice sized children's area on the second floor and if the noise level is a bit too much on the other side of the second floor there is an adult's only area which is normally pin drop quiet. * Now that the libraries in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton have joined forces one library card allows you to borrow from all three and return books to all three very much hassle free. * If there is one negative it would be that don't come trying to use one of their computers for any online activities as while there are a good number of terminals they are regularly full and people camp out for what seems like forever. * While a library has existed in Allentown for over one hundred years, the current building was built in the early 70's and quite honestly it looks like it. Also, don't let Google fool you into thinking that there are other Allentown library branches because this has been it since 2009 when deep state budget cuts forced the Emaus Avenue branch to close. For right now this is our go-to library when needed as everything is new-ish, clean and the staff is very customer service orientated. What's not to like?

I will agree with other reviewers. This is a very nice library. But I'm most disappointed with the…read morelack of professionalism and tolerance that some of these staff members have shown. I was recently here one night reading a book and waiting for my son to finish up with his study group and as I'm sitting there. These two staff members were whispering loudly about some incident that must have happened. And as she was talking the man's first question was ,Were they Hispanics? Are you serious. Is that the first thing that come out your mouth? Wow and I thought Allentown was more diverse than some of the suburbs. But I guess bias behaviors are everywhere these days. Guess I wont be coming here no more neither will my children. STOP JUDGING SO QUICKLY
