Separate indexes are provided for each of the three types of libraries and also for subjects.

McCrossan, Coordinator of Interlibrary Cooperation State Library of Pennsylvania Box 1601 Harrisburg, Pa. 17126 INTRODUCTION The first edition of this directory was published in 1971 under the title - Directory of Pennsylvania Academic and Research Libraries. It was produced under the direction of John McCrossan, the State Library's Coordinator of Interlibrary Cooperation. Major purposes of this volume, as of its predecessor, are to promote interlibrary cooperation and to improve access to the resources and services of libraries which have extensive special or unique collections. For information about public libraries which are not included, the reader is referred to another State Library publication - Pennsylvania Public Libraries Directory. John McCrossan served as overall supervisor of this project which was funded by the State Library with Library Services and Construction Act Title III monies. Project research was carried out by Brigitte Kenney and assistants at the Library School of Drexel University.I would like to thank both Dr. McCrossan and Mrs. Kenney for the production of such an excellent and useful second edition of the Directory of Pennsylvania Library Resources. Ernest E. Doerschuk, Jr. State Librarian PREFACE A Directory of Pennsylvania Library Resources: A Guide to the Resources and Services of Academic, Special, and Large Public Libraries has been completed cn request by the State Library of Pennsylvania and with an LSCA Title III grant to support the work. Because of the rapid increase in library resources in Pennsylvania it was thought that the first directory should be updated and expanded. This has been done, and the results follow. Approximately 700 questionnaires were mailed to academic, selected public, and special libraries in Pennsylvania.The first directory was used as a beginning mailing list; additions were made from the American Library Directory, Philadelphia Special Libraries Directory, Pittsburgh Special Libraries Directory, Kruzas' Directory of Special Libraries and Information Centers, and The Education Directory; Higher Education published by the U.S. Government Office of Educational Opportunity. Responses were received from 491 libraries; of those responding 51 did not wish to be included in the directory. 205 libraries did not respond; we used information from the above sources for 37 of these. Total number of entires in the directory is as follows: Academic Libraries 226 Special Libraries 224 Public Libraries 27 Two follow-ups resulted in the excellent return rate of almost 71%. We wish to acknowledge with gratitude the help of all the busy librarians who took time to fill out the extensive questionnaire. We have tried to be careful in the compilation of this directory. However, it is likely that errors have crept in. We ask that you note corrections and submit them to the State Library of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Library Development. I want to express my special thanks to Lois Bronstein who managed the entire project with resourcefulness, imagination, and patience. She received a great deal of help from Robert W. Ditmer and Lee Lourea. I am grateful to all three of these people. We hope that the Directory will be another step toward increased interlibrary cooperation in Pennsylvania. Because it pinpoints specific resources of major libraries in the state, it should contribute materially to the sharing of resources among them. Brigitte L. Kenney Assistant Professor Graduate School of Library Science Drexel University April, 19 73 ii HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY The Directory is arranged in a single alphabet by name of parent institution, and by name of library for parent institutions with more than one library. An asterisk next to an institution or library name indicates that no response was received to our ques-14onnaire. We have used information from other sources to include thirty-seven OT the non-respondents. In order to make it easier for librarians to complete the questionnaires, we indicated that we would use information from Lee Ash's Subject Collections, 3d ed. if so indicated on the questionnaire. Several libraries took advantage of this offer and we have included their subject collections as listed in Ash. The first index is by type of library and is divided into three sections listing academic, special, and public libraries separately. Within each group libraries are arranged as above. The second index is by subject. Library of Congress subject headings were used insofar as possible. Numbars following each subject heading indicate pages on which this particular subject may be found. Wherever libraries indicated subject strengths rather than specific subject headings, we either translated them into L.C. headings or created new headings (in cases where appropriate L.C. headings could not be found). Some headings were changed which seemed archaic. Headings were used for special collections, subject strengths or specialities, and current acquisitions of special libraries. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Preface ii How To Use This Directory iii Table of Contents iv Directory of Libraries and Their Resources 1 Type of Library Index Academic Libraries 163 Special Libraries 166 Public Libraries 170 Subject Index 171 iv ABINGTON LIBRARY SOCIETY Telephone: 215-564-3521 Librarian: Ruth E.

They met at the Widow Pratt's (The Royal Standard Tavern on Market Street), selected two surveyors, and laid down rules stipulating that at least one of them survey each house and write up reports that would be discussed by the entire Board, which would make decisions about the extent and rate of insurance. Franklin named the company The Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire. Already in 1736 he had helped to found Philadelphia's first fire brigade, the Union Fire Company. The Contributinship was a mutual insurance company that pooled risks. They based its method of operation (and name) on that of the Amicable Contributionship of London, founded in 1696. The new company was conservative in its underwriting, sending surveyors to inspect each building before insuring it. Accepted properties sported fire marks: four clasped gilded hands mounted on wood plaques. The actual cost of the survey was presumably deducted from the 10 shillings earnest money paid by every person insuring in the society. This also covered the costs of the policy and the "badge" or fire mark. Insurance at this time was limited to properties in Pennsylvania located within a ten mile radius from the center of Philadelphia.

    City of Readins; Psnrisylvania JUNE 2000 c Ji -e Executive Summary THE PROCESS The City of Reading faces an uncertain and challenging future. It has reached the point in its growth and evolution when it is necessary to look at and plan for the future. Significant changes continue to occur at local and regional levels. Changing economics, shifting population bases, industrial plant closings, older housing stock and aging public facilities are headlines that appear in the news media every day. On the other hand, there are prospects for regional economic growth, collaboration and other potential opportunities that can be pursued. The current Master Plan for the City of Reading was adopted in 1969. There were efforts in 1980 and 1986 to develop an updated plan, but support was limited and final drafts were never completed. In January 1997, the Reading Planning Commission suggested to the Mayor and City Council that the Commission and appropriate Planning staff develop a new Comprehensive P!an and related Strategic Action Plan. The recommendation was endorsed by the P,dministrz- tion, and the Planning Commission identified several critical objectives to be included in the creation of the new plan. These have been summarized in the following Mission Statement: 3. “The Comprehensive Plan for Reading serves as a formally adopted statement of poli- cies regarding the City’s future. It provides a framework for public and private decisions that impact the prioritization of resource allocation, increases neighborhood and busi- 2 ness stability, and improves the overall quality of life. The document can also serve as a guide to address changing human and physical environments, strengthen community confidence and involvement, provide investment security, preserve and enhance the positive qualities of Reading, and reinforce the City as a regional hub.” In June 1997, City Council directed the Planning Commission and appropriate staff of the Community Development Department to prepare a Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Action Plan for Reading.
