The Francis J. Catania Law Library provides legal research resources for the materials for the law community and the general public. Due to the increasing availability of digital resources, it is able to continue to purchase valuable resources necessary for legal research while containing costs. Patrons have access to Westlaw, palawlibrary.com, and other on-line services on the public computers. The Law Library's director, Susan R. Perretta, Esq., has a law degree from Temple University School of Law and a master's degree in library and information science from Drexel University.

Despite its modest budget, the Law Library is diligent in providing legal information to the public, the legal community, and the departments of the County and Courts. "Pro se" patrons seeking information on family law, especially child custody, are directed to the Law Library by other County and Court departments. Family law issues continue to dominate research requests due to the number of patrons who appear not to have the means to hire professional legal assistance. As usual, library staff directs these patrons to the most appropriate source of information while maintaining the delicate balance between giving them "legal advice" versus reference assistance.

Free access to the Internet is maintained in the library at the public access computers.
Patrons, both professional and non-professional, use these terminals to conduct legal and general research.
