Research Library
The library serves the economists and staff of the Research Department and other areas of the Bank. We also assist bankers, teachers, students, and consumers with a variety of information needs.
The collection of books and periodicals focuses on
the topics of economics, monetary policy, and banking. The library maintains an
extensive collection of the publications of the Federal Reserve System and
materials dealing with its history and policies. Many of these publications are indexed and linked to full text in Fed in
Print. 
Employees of the Federal Reserve System and financial institutions are permitted to borrow circulating material. Students and the general public may borrow materials through interlibrary loan, a service provided by universities and public libraries.
Reference help is available to the public in person, over the telephone at 215-574-6540, or through e-mail.
