Home Delivery
We bring the library to you!

Library materials are selected, delivered, and picked up by volunteers. The items can include large and regular print books, audiobooks, Playaways, DVDs, CDs, and magazines.

Proctoring
Please read our proctoring policy (located on the form page) in full and verify it complies with your educational institution's requirements before submitting a proctoring request form. Test proctoring at the library is by appointment only and subject to staff availability. Library staff will directly supervise the test-taker at the beginning and end of the exam and conduct periodic checks throughout the exam but cannot monitor the test-taker continuously. Students must make proctoring arrangements at least 72 hours in advance. Quiet study areas may not always be available. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the physical facilities are adequate for their test taking requirements and that their institution will accept the library’s proctoring guidelines.
Book-a-Librarian
Our free Book-a-Librarian sessions are personalized 45 minute one-on-one lessons about library resources and technology. Appointments range from exploring library e-resources to training on Makerspace equipment, covering one topic or piece of Makerspace equipment per appointment. You can also book an appointment to earn a Makerspace Certificate. Please limit appointments to one per person, per month.
To schedule an appointment, visit the calendar to see availability or contact Sarah Quinn at squinn@pt-library.org or 724-941-9430 ext 5767.
