Update 8/25/2026:
Our temporary location is at 960C Harvest Drive, Blue Bell, PA 19422. (Click the address see our building on Google maps.)
CLOSING TIME: OCTOBER 1 - 19:
The Main Library will close on October 1, 2026, in order for the furniture and collection to be moved to our temporary library location. We plan to open up at the temporary library on Tuesday, October 20. Once we reopen at Harvest Drive, we will resume our daily delivery of holds requested for pickup. (See the 8/17 update below for more info about holds, or ask our staff.)
What to expect at the Harvest Drive Library:
You will....
Use the same library card
See the same staff
Search the same catalog
Access the same digital library
There is plenty of free parking and zero-step entry into the building for accessibility. Our popular collections will be available, with plenty of children's and adult books, audiobooks, magazines and newspapers to browse and borrow. Many programs will still be held in this location, but larger groups will be offered at community partner locations. Check our web calendar for details about specific programs; the info will be posted as soon as confirmed.
Ambler Branch remains open with all regular hours and services as well.
Update 8/17/2026: Main Library Closed October 1-19 for Moving & Holds Pickup Changes
The Main Library will close on October 1 to 19, 2026, in order for the furniture and collection to be moved to our temporary library location (see Update 7/24/2026). We plan to open at the temporary library on October 20.
For now until we reopen, we need to suspend placing new holds for pick up at the Blue Bell location. New holds requests must be sent for pickup at the Ambler Branch or any other MCLINC library of your choice. Old holds requests that were assigned to the Blue Bell library for pick-up will still be sent to Blue Bell. When you receive a hold notification, it will specify the pick-up location. If you have a hold close to being ready, you can change the pick-up location to Ambler or any other MCLINC library.
Blue Bell holds pick-up will resume after we finish moving and open at the temporary library location on Harvest Drive.
Feel free to call and ask any questions.
Please excuse these temporary inconveniences, as we work to create a library that will better serve growing needs for library services.
Update 7/24/2026: Lease Agreement Signed
The director has signed a lease agreement to begin renting a large office space for our temporary library in October! We have officially locked down the space at 960C Harvest Drive, #100, Blue Bell, PA 19422 (This link will open Google Maps.) While we do not have a strict move-in date, it is a huge step forward in our planning process, especially considering the need for continuous library service to the community. Now that the space is secured, more decisions can be made and detailed updates can be published. Much more is yet to come!
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
