Books, movies and more in a PA library
(Also known as the Access PA Database) Libraries across Pennsylvania have collaborated to create this shared catalog of their collections. This combined catalog reflects the holdings of over 2,600 Pennsylvania libraries and their combined collections of over 43 million books, audio materials, reference materials, movies, and much more.
PA libraries also lend materials to other libraries. If the item you are looking for is located at a library that is not close to you, contact your local library to ask about an “interlibrary” loan. Because libraries acquire new materials daily, listings are updated on a regular basis. If you do not find what you are looking for this time, check back again at a later time.
