Historic Building & Inviting Atmosphere
Housed in a beautifully preserved historic structure, our library marries old-world charm with modern conveniences. Visitors often marvel at the elegant architecture, warm woodwork, and thoughtful layout. Clean, bright, and meticulously maintained, the building welcomes you with its “beautiful look and smell,” as one guest fondly described. While most patrons appreciate the tranquil ambiance—“The building is very quiet,” another observed—occasional staff conversations remind us to remain mindful of maintaining a peaceful environment. We strive to balance friendly collaboration behind the scenes with the quiet concentration our visitors value.
Collections & Convenient Services
Our curated collection features a wide variety of books, DVDs, audiobooks, and digital resources. While some patrons find the selection on the smaller side—“The selection of books and DVDs is on the small side”—many appreciate the breadth of our audio and video offerings: “Good selection of audio books, DVDs/BlueRays.” We continually refresh our holdings based on your interests and feedback.
At Wyomissing Public Library, convenience matters.
