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!

Review is about the Passport Service!…read more We've been coming here for years now for the convenience of their US passport service. 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.

How I love the hallowed halls of a good library, and HACC's is one of the area's best…read more I discovered the local community college library in 1990 when I was first a student there, but I've had a life long history of haunting libraries wherever I wind up, so it didn't take an essay assignment to send me a-wandering in its direction. The HACC library is well-stocked with classic and current titles, and they also maintain an excellent selection of magazines. The reference desk staff are very helpful and patient. My husband is currently taking courses at the college, so I tagged along recently with the specific intent of meandering through the library and amassing a stack of books to check out. As soon as the sliding glass doors gave way and I bucked a hip through the turnstile, the inimitable library smell beckoned me to the stacks on the second floor and I was in heaven. I was pleased to see a wide array of Bukowski books in the poetry section, many new, posthumous releases and older titles as well. There still sat one of the copies I used to check out years ago, and the sentimentalist in me could not resist a peek at my long-gone due dates. The art and photography sections are as well-rounded as a Botticelli nude, with many over-sized titles available for check-out. And although my eye turns toward the artier areas, know that their sections on politics, science, and history are equally outstanding. I often recommend the HACC library to folks attending other schools as an excellent resource....I think it's an oft-forgotten locale to those not currently enrolled at the community college. Alas. It is so well-maintained that it deserves some love. Enjoy a cheap, relaxing, educational afternoon at our local college library (it's even open Sunday 12-5). Or just call me a nerd.
