Locating Your Nearest Public Library

There are several ways to find your local public library.

  • Find the link for your state in its corresponding region at Libweb: Public Libraries in the United States, to get a list of your state's public libraries in alphabetical order (by name).
  • Click the link for your state at PublicLibraries.com, to get a list of your state's public libraries in alphabetical order (by name of the corresponding city).
  • Look for the local "blue" pages for government agencies in your area's telephone directory.
  • Use Find Your Library, the specialized Internet search tool provided by the National Center for Education Statistics of the U.S. Department of Education, to find larger libraries.
  • Use the Yahoo! Internet Directory, which has compiled a list of public libraries web sites by state at the Yahoo! Search Directory Public Libraries web page.
