Lawrence Public Library (LPL for short) is a community learning hub that believes in sharing knowledge and resources. We empower our community to imagine more together to grow a world we can all believe in by learning, connecting, creating, and growing with a passionate staff and vast collections, resources, services, and programs. The library is supported by tax dollars, the Friends of the Library book sales, the philanthropic efforts of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation, and the dedicated efforts of hundreds of volunteers. Come say hi! We're located in the heart of downtown Lawrence, KS, which means a quick walk to a wide array of meal options, daylife, nightlife, and local businesses.
