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.
