The Abington Township Public Library is now Fine Free*! We have an extensive collection of materials for loan for all ages, including books, magazines, CDs and DVDs, Chromebooks and hot spots, Kindles, Museum passes, Playaways, and more! These items have different loan periods and fees.
Fees for lost items may be paid by cash or check in person at the Abington Free Library or the Roslyn Library. At the Abington Free Library, you can pay using a credit card. Fees may also be paid online with a credit card through My Account. Please note, there is a $1.00 processing fee for each online credit card transaction.
