PPL @Work

The Library is open with limited hours and services; we're hard at work to offer you as much as we possibly can.

Stay safe and stay tuned for word on increased hours and services. We can’t wait for you to finally get to experience, explore, and enjoy all that our beautifully transformed building has to offer.

PPL@Work Updates

From additional book lists to access to new and expanded online resources from PPL, AskRI.org and elsewhere, we’re working to enhance the Library’s electronic and digital offerings.
