Lawrence Public Library

Lawrence Public Library (LPL for short) is a community hub that believes in the power of shared knowledge, resources, and connecting with each other. We're located in the heart of downtown Lawrence, Kansas, and are committed to providing a space where our community can learn, connect, create, and grow. All are welcome.

The library is where you belong, and where learning, connecting, creating, and growing is infinitely possible through access to: collections, resources, services, programs, and knowledgeable staff members. 

The Library is supported by your tax dollars, Friends of the Library Book Sales, philanthropic efforts by the Lawrence Public Library Foundation, and the dedicated efforts of more than 300 volunteers.
