Collections
During our stay at 2391 Harts Lane, much of the Library’s collection has been placed in storage. You are able to borrow items from other libraries in the county by viewing our online catalog, accessing your library account online and requesting that the item you want be shipped to the William Jeanes Library for you to pick up. (See instructions on FAQ page.)
