Our library's collection for adults, at both the Abington Free Library and the Roslyn Library, boasts a wide array of materials. It includes an extensive selection of books spanning various genres, a rich assortment of DVDs for both entertainment and education, captivating audiobooks for those who prefer to listen, and a curated range of magazines to cater to all interests.
With over 300,000 items in our collections, you’re sure to find something to love. Beyond our books, magazines, and audiovisual materials, we have some special collections you won’t want to miss:
Lucky Day
Looking for a new bestseller but don’t want to wait for your hold to come in? Check our Lucky Day collection at both locations. Lucky Day books cannot be placed on hold or renewed and never go to other MCLINC libraries to fill holds. If it’s on the shelf, it’s yours to take out! Thank you to the Friends of the Abington Township Public Libraries for sponsoring our Lucky Day collections.
Graphic Novels
The Abington Free Library has one of the most extensive adult graphic novel collections in Montgomery County—and it’s growing! Stop by today to check it out. Have a suggestion on a book or series to add to the collection? Stop by the Information Desk and share it with our librarians.
Library of Things
Our Library of Things includes Museum Passes, Blood Pressure Monitoring Kits, Chromebooks, Pickleball Kits, and so much more.
