The Directory of Pennsylvania Libraries is compiled from information supplied to Commonwealth Libraries through January of the Directory year.  The primary source for public library information is the public library annual report.  For academic and special libraries, the primary source is the library director/administrator.  Please locate your library’s listing and verify the information.  If corrections are necessary, please use the “Change to Directory Entry” form supplied in the back of the Directory.
