Have you ever added up what it would cost to buy every book you read, every movie you watch, or every album you listen to? It adds up fast—and for many, it’s simply not affordable. That’s why the Bethlehem Area Public Library’s borrowing program is such a valuable community resource.
Now, every time you borrow materials from a BAPL branch, you’ll not only receive your due date—you’ll also see how much you saved by using your library card. It’s a fun and meaningful way to highlight the value of your membership. So next time you visit, check your receipt and celebrate the savings!
The Bethlehem Area Public Library’s mission is to connect our community through literature, media, and more. Our cardholders enjoy access to thousands of books, movies, albums, and other resources—all completely free. We’re proud to provide this service to the people of Bethlehem and the greater Lehigh Valley.
This kind of access isn’t just convenient—it’s community-driven. Whether you’re searching for a weekend movie, a new novel, or materials for school or work, the library is here to support lifelong learning, enrichment, and entertainment. By offering a wide range of media to borrow, BAPL helps reduce household expenses while promoting a culture of sustainability, sharing, and connection.
