Interlibrary Loan
We accept requests for books and periodical articles that the library does not own. Materials are borrowed from public and academic libraries across the country. Most arrive within a few days, but some may take several weeks to obtain, depending on their location. There is a minimal charge for photocopies.
Photocopies
High quality copies are available at reasonable prices. A coin operated machine is located on the main floor.
Fax
You may send and receive faxes with the help of the library's public services staff. International faxes cannot be sent.The machine is located in the reference department.
Community Health Library Computer
Two medical online databases are available for in-library use. The Greater Hazleton Health Alliance and the Hazleton Area Public Library partnered to receive a federal grant that provides access to wired.MD and Healthinformatics during regular library hours. Wired.MD has 300 health videos (7-10 minutes long) and 1300 handouts on various medical problems and conditions. Many of the presentations are available in multiple languages. Healthinformatics contains thousands of articles on medical conditions, illness prevention and treatment, nutrition, and many other topics related to health. HI is also available in Spanish. Both databases are written in easy to understand language and are user friendly. Patrons who wish to use these databases must be registered to use the Internet at HAPL. A valid library card or photo card is required.
