Library Food Drive
The Warminster Township Free Library is hosting a Food Drive to benefit the Warminster Food Bank, and we need your help to fill our donation bins. Everything collected will go directly to the Warminster Food Bank Read more
Library Flooring Project
We are postponing the Warminster Library flooring / carpet project for a few months while we pursue the replacement of the heat exchanger. Since the library is a designated warming shelter during times of winter storm emergency, we need to get this done as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
- Tom Scott, Township Manager
Curbside Information
Contactless curbside pickup for previously placed available holds is available the following hours:
- Monday – Thursday: 10 am – 4:30 pm
- Friday: 12 pm – 4:30 pm
- Saturday 10 am – 4:30 pm
How Do I Use Curbside Pickup?
Contactless curbside pickup is available for library users who have holds waiting for them. When you have been notified that your hold is available for pickup, you can follow the steps below if you do not wish to come into the Library to pick it up.
- Call the Library at 215.672.4362 and choose option 3. Please have your Library card number ready.
During the call, the Library staff will verify your name and that you have holds waiting for you. They will get those items and check them out to you.
If you have over $10 in charges on your account, you will need to pay by credit card before we can check the items out to you. - Staff then bag the items and attach the holds slip to the bag.
- The bag, with the holds slip, will be placed on a table outside the Main entrance to the Library. This process will take 5-10 minutes after the call ends.
- If you are going to pick the items up later the same day, staff will place the bag on the table 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled pickup time.
Things to Note
- Please give 5-10 minutes for your items to get to the table. If you call from the parking lot, please be patient.
- Please be mindful of the hours for curbside listed above. These differ from the Library’s open hours and curbside is not available past 4:30 pm.
- Any items that are not picked up by the time curbside service is done for the day will be brought inside. You must come into the Library to pick the items up.
If items are not picked up by closing time, they will be checked in from your account and returned to the shelf/owning Library/next person in the holds queue. - We reserve the right to suspend pickup at any time for any reason. During inclement weather, this service might not be available.
Children and Teen Programs
The Warminster Township Free Library youth staff offer many educational and fun opportunities for children from birth to age 18. We also have a wide array of fiction and nonfiction books, films and music in print and online formats for our children and teens. The staff is devoted to providing information children, teens, and parents need to grow and learn throughout their lives.
While encouraging our youth to read is the cornerstone of what we do, we also offer programs that foster imagination, innovation, creativity and building social relationships through music, art, science, history & more! At the Warminster Library, children and teens can explore new passions, interests, and ideas that can help them be the adults of tomorrow.

Adult Programs
Welcome to the Warminster Township Free Library’s Adult Programs.
For additional information on programs, contact the Information Services Desk at 267-317-1333.
June 16-August 3
How do you participate?
Visit the library beginning June 9 to pick up a sheet of 6 Adult Summer Reading Entries. There is no limit to the number of books you can read, and you can always come in for more entry forms or download them from the website. We understand that reading to kids or grandkids is an important activity for their literary development; however, picture books DO NOT count towards ADULT summer reading.
Our Adult Services Librarian has also created a list of recommended titles. If you read any of those titles, you will receive ONE extra entry into the prize drawing. Titles not included on the list, but still relating to art, can also be used for an extra entry. All we ask is that you write a review on the back of the ticket to explain how art is part of the story.
Art encompasses many different mediums. It could be a story about a painter, or a human turned fae who uses painting to cope (ACOTAR fans unite!), but it could also be a story about musical theater. Or a book that was turned into a musical that was then turned into a movie musical (looking at you, Wicked).
Ticket slips will be available for pickup at the library and online between June 9 and July 26. The last day to return your logs is August 9. The prize winners will be notified on Wednesday, August 13.
In addition, we will be offering tickets to any adult who participates in a specific “Color Your World” summer program.
Don’t have time to stop in?
You can print one off at home. Go to warminstertownship.org/library and click on Adult Programs. You will find a link to a printable PDF. Click here to download a log to print from home.
You will need to come into the library to drop off your completed ticket slips.
Who can participate?
This program is for adults only. Anyone over the age of 18 (or if you will be attending college in the fall) is eligible.
How does the program work?
READ! Fill out an entry square after you have finished reading a book. If the book uses any type of art in the story, please provide a brief explanation on the back. Entries with titles relating to art count as 2 entries. If you choose to read a title from our librarian-created list, you do not need to write an explanation. The book has already been verified.
PARTICIPATE! Come to any of the following library programs during the Summer Reading dates and earn a ticket. Remember to sign in so we know you attended. Our virtual art classes will count as well: show us your work of art to earn your ticket. The list of programs is below:
- Color Your Canvas: June 21, June 27, July 5, July 8, July 15, July 19, July 22
- Adult Art Series: June 16, July 7, July 21, August 4
- The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution – July 2
- Henry Chapman Mercer: A Legacy Built in Concrete – July 11
- DIY Series – June 24
For more information and to register for programs, check out our calendar here.
How do these Tickets work?
- Bring back the entry slips and drop them in the colorful Summer Reading box at the Reference Desk.
- Tickets earned from programs will be recorded by the staff. You do not have to do anything but show up.
- The last day to return entry slips is August 9th.
- Prizes will be pulled on August 13th.
What counts toward your reading?
- Fiction? Counts!
- Non-fiction? Counts!
- Audiobooks? Counts. Check out our online audiobooks through CloudLibrary and Hoopla.
- Ebooks? Definitely counts! Check out our online ebooks through CloudLibrary and Hoopla.
- Graphic novels? Absolutely counts!
Our librarian-curated list may serve as a guide however, you are always welcome to read whatever you like.
Are there prizes?
You bet there are! At the end of Summer Reading, all program tickets and entry slips will be tallied and mixed together. A staff member will then pull a winner for each prize. We have one grand prize of a $100 VISA gift card and four runner-up prizes of $50 VISA gift cards.
Thanks to our sponsors!
