Hershey Public Library

Reviewed By Crochooked - Palmyra, United States

Hershey Library is an awesome community space. A variety of books,magazines, newspapers, audio books, and videos, for all ages. Their children's area is divided into an infant/toddler section with picture books and toys; and an older kids area with tables to do homework, and cushy benches to sit or sprawl and read. There is a great collection of books and videos for beginning readers through teens. And a parent/ teacher resource section with books and magazines. The adult area is well stocked, and includes a quiet newspaper/ magazine area, and a quiet study area with cartels with place to plug in your laptop or tablet. And free internet access! They also display art and craftsmen local school students and craft people. The library has rooms available for community groups, and advertises groups in their brochures. I starting taking my children here as toddlers, and participated in their grand opening in this "new" location, a beautiful, modern building. I have held monthly meetings of my crafting group, and taught classes, as well regular visits to select more books.
