Resources and Services for Libraries

Professional consultation and support are provided to more than 600 public library facilities in Pennsylvania, as well as to library staff in state agencies, schools, colleges, museums, corporations, and private organizations throughout Pennsylvania in an effort to increase access, collaboration and promote professional development.  Programs and services are supported through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Institute of Museums and Libraries Services Grants to State program.

The Public Library Code contains Pennsylvania statutes responsible for the operation and maintenance of the State Library of Pennsylvania and the coordination of a statewide system of local (public) libraries.
