Penn's main Library facility includes Van Pelt Library, the Lippincott Library at Wharton, the Music Library, and the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Book &, Manuscripts, as well as the Weigle Information Commons.
The Kislak Center enhances the rare book library's teaching and digitization programs and supports the use of special collections both in research and in the curriculum. The collection, study, and curatorial facilities on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center have been transformed into the Special Collections Center, joining portions of the fifth and sixth floors. The overall renovated space includes display areas, a reading room, seminar rooms, and offices, and the renovated space on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt Library serves as a social and cultural commons for the entire University.
