Academic Libraries Aren't Just for Academics Anymore

Course | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST

Have you ever been curious about what the Lee R. Glatfelter Library at Penn State York can offer you even if you aren’t a student? What is the difference between a public library and a library that is open to the public? Join us for an introduction to how our academic library can help you even if you aren’t an academic. Maybe you need the right book for your next book club, the perfect album from our extensive music collection, some sheet music for the instrument you play occasionally, picture books for your grandchildren’s next visit, or the latest movie — we have something for everyone!
