Library Lowdown: Upper Merion Township Edition

 Each week we'll take an inside look at a local library (primarily the children's sections).  We'll explore the set up, toys offered, local museum passes and specialty items you may want to check out! 

The second stop on our tour was Upper Merion Township Library!  This library has a robust programming calendar, but beware; these programs fill fast and often have a waitlist!The library is located inside the Upper Merion Township building. Visitors should drive to the back of the township building, on the right side to access parking.  When you walk in, go up the stairs and to the right.  The library may share space with the police department and township official business, but it's BIG! The children's section in particular is definitely worth a trip.
