About Library
The Polish Museum of America Library has over 100,000 books in both Polish and English languages on subjects of interest to Polish Americans, including such topics as Polish art, music, biographies, genealogy, immigration and history. The public is welcome to use these resources for on-premises research, but the lending library is open only to members for an annual fee or at certain levels of membership to the Museum. Both English and Polish-speaking personnel are available to assist library patrons.
