In 1990, the Hellertown Area Library Association (HALA) was established in response to the need of library service for Hellertown residents. HALA operates a library that provides convenient multi-media resources and programs to meet the educational, recreational, and cultural needs and interests of Borough and other area residents.

The Hellertown Area Library will provide technology that makes world-wide information available to all its patrons. The library will be the hub of the community, where patrons of all ages meet and interact to share cultural diversities, ideas, and experiences.
