OUR CIRCULATING LIBRARY IS
FOR PENNSYLVANIA MASONS ONLY
One of the features of The Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania is the Circulating Library, established in 1952.
This service was designed to promote Masonic education and inspiration by the dissemination of Masonic literature among
the members of lodges in the Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.
To request an item from the Circulating Library online catalog, you may access the list of available items from the Rules and Regulations Page.
This catalogue represents only those materials which may be borrowed; just a small fraction of the over 70,000 volumes in the Library.
Please note: some books are also available in seven satellite (regional) libraries. Those titles are indicated by an S. Please go in person to borrow from them.
The Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania, located on the first floor of the Masonic Temple, Philadelphia, is open on Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. It is closed on Sundays and some legal holidays.
