The Cumberland County Public Library offers free access to interactive spaces, technology, and resources for the whole family. All branches have a dynamic schedule of free programs for all ages, ranging from toddler story time, to technology help for adults. Branches feature sensory-inclusive manipulatives and interactives for youth; with Headquarters Library featuring play items such as a giant light wall, construction crane, and wind tunnel.
To get a library card, preregister online or go to any library branch with a photo ID and proof of a Cumberland County address. Children younger than 16 need parental approval to get a card. Cardholders have access to e-books, audiobooks, children’s materials, and music and videos. The library also has guides to online learning, home-schooling, jobs and careers, and it offers homework help for kids.
Every branch has public-access computers that can be used for free. A library card or a free, temporary computer-use card is required to use the computers. Those who don’t have a card may use 15-minute express terminals.
The Local & State History Room, at the Headquarters Library downtown, can assist in specialized ancestry, genealogy, or historical research.
