Hampton Community Library (HCL) is the success story of a number of Hampton residents who worked hard to bring a library to the community. Open to the public in September 1990, it is supported by volunteers, as well as by generous individual contributors and businesses. HCL is a full-service ACLA public library, free of charge. HCL is a participant in the Electronic Information Network for Public Libraries in Allegheny County.

HCL offers more than 28,000 volumes, including your choice of magazines and newspaper publications, audio books, VHS tapes, and DVDs. Thanks to Hampton Township, we have a leased collection of popular current fiction and non-fiction, including many New York Times bestsellers.

Any item in our collection that is not available for immediate loan can be placed on reserve. Items not in our collection can often be obtained for you from other libraries. You will be notified by phone or by email when the item is available. These items will be held for seven days. Items checked out at HCL may be returned here, at any Carnegie Library, or at any of the forty libraries in Allegheny County participating in the Electronic Information Network.
