LIBRARY RESOURCES

No longer just places for books, libraries have evolved to offer a vast amount of online resources and a range of experiences and opportunities for all members of our community.

Let your exploration begin. . .

LIBRARY CATALOG

Search for books, DVDs, music CDs and more from libraries around the county. Request items and have them sent to the library of your choice. Check your library account online, renew your items and pay fines.

eLIBRARY

Allegheny County’s eLibrary is the home of downloadable and streaming entertainment sites and reliable databases for research.

This is the place to find trustworthy answers to questions about healthcare, consumer purchases, personal finances, and much more.
