Church St.) has been here for over 50 years, many Bethlehemites have fond memories of the prior home of BAPL on Market Street. A few folks have recently asked for pictures so we thought would be fun to dig through the archives and share some gems here. These are scans of slides from the library files. If you see any errors, let us know! The building, located at 11 Market Street, is now part of Moravian Academy. It served as the BAPL central library from 1925-1967.
