Book Drops Open Beginning Tuesday, May 26th
We are not currently circulating new materials, we are only accepting returns.
We are taking the community and staff safety into consideration when we reopen our libraries. Services will return gradually. Since there are over 9,000 items checked out, our first step will be to accept return items through our libraries' book drops beginning Tuesday, May 26th. Due dates have been extended to June 30th.We encourage patrons to return the items they have checked out so that these items can be placed in quarantine. The items will be checked in after the quarantine period and when it is safe for staff.
Please visit our Library Information page for our resources that may help you at this time and to apply for a library card if you do not have one. Patrons are invited to use our digital collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks.
Join us for Summer Reading!

About the Laughlin Memorial Library
The Laughlin Memorial Library opened to the citizens of Ambridge on July 6, 1929 when the building was formally dedicated and turned over to the Ambridge Free Library Association by the Alexander Laughlin Family. The building, a gift to Ambridge, is a memorial to their son Alexander Laughlin, Jr. Consider making the Laughlin Memorial Library a part of your will. It will be a lasting tribute to you and continue to invest in your community. Talk with your attorney, accountant or financial planner regarding a gift to the library.
