“Worth a trip just for the architecture!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

The very helpful and knowledgeable staff here will guide around the library's many treasures. Especially notable is their statewide newspaper collection and the Genealogy and family history collections. Don't forget to look up to view the decorative ceiling!

“wonderful architecture, friendly staff, great collections”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010

The genealogical, periodical, and law libraries are first rate. The main library collection is broad ranging and with excellent specialties such as map collections and Pennsylvania history. The main library is organized in a fascinating five story atrium with the stacks on balconies surrounding the atrium accessed by narrow stairs or ancient lifts.The circulation and research staff are very helpful....
