Pennridge's Reading Room
Bucks County Free Library — Perkasie Branch
The county branch on Arthur Avenue — the Pennridge region's shared living room, a few blocks from the carousel.
The Perkasie Branch of the Bucks County Free Library serves the whole Pennridge region from its Arthur Avenue building near the borough's core — the only county branch in this corner of Upper Bucks, and a genuine hub for a community that still runs on volunteer institutions. Storytimes, summer reading, book clubs, and meeting rooms keep it busy year-round.
Like every branch in the system, it is free to join for county residents, and the card carries across all seven branches plus the digital collection. In a borough whose landmarks include a volunteer-run carousel and a preserved covered bridge, a thriving public library fits the character exactly.

What the branch offers
The Perkasie branch runs the full county program at small-town scale: a well-used children's room with storytimes and summer reading tuned to Pennridge school rhythms, teen space, adult book clubs and classes, public computers, and meeting rooms that local groups treat as their clubhouse.
The county card adds the digital layer — e-books, audiobooks, streaming, and research databases — which stretches the branch far beyond its walls for the rural townships around Perkasie.
Libraries & Community
The library in Perkasie's civic fabric
Perkasie is a town of maintained traditions — the 1909 tree lighting, the volunteer carousel, the historical society — and the library sits squarely in that lineage. It is where the borough's community service culture shows up daily: tutoring, reading programs, civic meetings, and the kind of casual intergenerational mixing that only libraries still host.
For the Pennridge region's families, it also fills the distance gap: the nearest county branches otherwise are Quakertown and Doylestown, so Arthur Avenue carries a wide catchment of boroughs and townships.
