Access PA

AccessPA is an online catalog, which includes lists of books, movies, and other materials found in Pennsylvania Libraries.  Using this web-based portal, Pennsylvanians can search the holdings of over 2,600 school, public, academic, and special libraries in Pennsylvania.  Access PA is the result of coordinated resource-sharing among libraries of all types throughout the Commonwealth.  It enables PA residents to locate specific items.  If an item is not available at their local library, they may ask their local librarian to request a loan from another library.  Sharing resources in this way makes it possible for PA libraries to provide excellent, cost-effective customer service.

ASK HERE PA

Ask Here PA is Pennsylvania’s new statewide live chat reference service and is a free service to all residents of Pennsylvania, offering live chat reference 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

We’ll be here to help you get answers to your questions, any time and anywhere you have Internet access. Unlike other “expert” sites on the Web, there is no charge to use our service. We’ll be doing what libraries have always done best — quickly getting you the accurate, unbiased information you need.
