WVPL is excited to announce the continuation of the renovation at the Main Library in Blue Bell!
Big things are happening at the library. After the Ambler Branch opened its doors to its new, beautiful building, we turned our attention to the needs of the Main Library in Blue Bell. The plan is to renovate the library, by replacing the old 1990's features with a modernized 21st century library. Thanks to your generous support, we’ve already taken important steps forward—replacing the roof, repaving the parking lot, upgrading outdoor lighting, and repairing the sewer system—making sure our library is safe and accessible for all. Now, we’re ready to do something even more meaningful: create an inviting interior with welcoming spaces for tutoring, studying, and community gatherings. Imagine children receiving extra help after school in bright, comfortable rooms… neighbors meeting for book clubs or lifelong learning programs… families finding a place to connect.
Many hands go into this important work, and many decisions are yet to be made. Currently, our anticipated start time for this project is September 2026. We plan to move our most needed books and materials to a temporary location in Whitpain Township, to be determined. More information on the temporary library, construction start date, and finalized renovation plans will be shared with the public as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
