| A look inside Riegelsville Public Library |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Riegelsville Public Library occupies the second floor of the Riegelsville Borough Hall. The building was originally constructed in 1886 by John Leidy Riegel as a private college-prep school; today, support from the Bucks County Free Library enables us to offer all of the services of a larger library consortium. Take a look inside our beautiful facility! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| As you can see, we pack a lot into a small space! The main reading room contains the adult fiction, non-fiction, young adult, large print and biography sections. Help yourself to a seat at one of our oak tables or browse among the original bookcases for your reading material. Our staff of three -- a Pennsylvania Certified Librarian, Technical Assistant and Children's Services Supervisor -- are all waiting to help you. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Come right in! We are located on the second floor. If you want help negotiating the 26 steps to the top of the stairs, we have a wheelchair ramp at the rear of the building and a chair lift. Just ring the buzzer at the base of the stairs for assistance! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
