Manheim Township Branch Library

Our family really loves going here. My kids really enjoy the activities they have during the month. I definitely will say by far the best library I’ve ever been too.

The best investment of my local taxes. As many activties to take advantage of as books.
Very reader friendly staff that is accessible and informative. Love the art exhibits and overall ambiance. I even saved money on consumer reports archived issues that helped make better purchasing decisions.

The ABSOLUTE worse place to take your 1 yr old and 12 yr old! I have NEVER in my entire life had someone make me feel like I did not belong somewhere!
I was at the «teen» computers bc my step son was helping with his brother and it was close the printer, had this little snotty stuck up girl tell him «there’s a child area» when I asked who told him that she came right around the corner and repeated herself. So instead of telling the little shit to mind her business I simply said «ok thanks» and she looked at me and walked around us ha! She went to the front desk and made a complaint about my son! So the «director» and 2 other staff came along and decided it was acceptable to approach me and my kids like we were hobos, and made us feel like shit! The little girl walks past smiling at us the whole time. And so my family and I went to the «child area» that wasn’t that child friendly and we got stared at, the whole time! I asked numerous people for help with the printers and just got «passed around» first time ever going there and the way we were treated was as if we were beneath them!
My son is 1, he’s going to be interest in the world around him and venture and talk and play. My 12yr old step son was doing a Great job following his lead and guiding his brother. While I was printing documents.
The director even moved my sons sippy cup away from the keyboard and told me that «there’s to be NO liquid near the computer» she even made it seem like I was illiterate and read the paper to me on the computer! This place is a joke and let me tell you… I balled my eyes out for the way we were treated! I cannot believe it.
I’m a damn good mother!!, my kids are great kids! I should never feel nor should my kids feel like that aren’t welcome anywhere especially in a «public» facility such as a library! Absolutely appalling!
And FYI I’m in my 30s, it’s not like I’m 16 with kids! Just absolutely the worst place ever!!!

A great library, staffed with helpful, friendly and knowledgable people. Good selection of music and DVDs in addition to the their books. Excellent checkout policies (no limits). Parking out front. There’s nothing bad to say about this library and that’s why it’s one of my regular stops.

My family and I love coming here especially on cold rainy days. Great kids area and very friendly staff!

Brand new with a fantastic layout and warm (and not just the fireplace), inviting area to come grab and good book and dig in.
Fantastic children’s area with a wide variety from birth on.
I really have nothing but kudos for the lancaster county library system. They really seem to know how to make tis work right — even as our governor is cutting funds, our libraries are stronger than ever.
