Need access to legal reference materials or government forms? Seeking assistance with genealogy and newspaper research?  Want to examine materials from our city, state and federal government depository collections? Start here!

As the Free Library of Philadelphia expands our services during the pandemic, our department has a limited number of research appointments available each week. By completing this application, you will receive an email to schedule a research session with a librarian. Research sessions are approximately 30 minutes in length, but can be extended depending upon the requested need.

You can expect a response via email within 2 business days.

Thank you for your interest as we continue developing our services!
