We are thrilled to announce in 2025 we have eliminated paid membership fees! Our staff is ready to help you get a Lansdale Library Card! Bring a form of identification with your current address (driver’s license, lease, utility bill, or other official mailing) to the Library during our open hours. Residents of Lansdale borough can join for free. If you live in surrounding townships, you are welcome to join the library for free as well! We will even help you get a library card to your Home library if needed.
Children of ALL ages can get a library card. Children up to age 18 require a parent or guardian to sign the form.
