LPL Library

The LPL Library was established by Gerard P. Kuiper in 1962 as a reading room and ready reference collection serving the LPL faculty, staff, and graduate students. The library's interdisciplinary collection supports research and teaching in planetary science, primarily at the graduate level.

The library also has a large collection of topographic maps, chiefly of Arizona and the Southwest. 

Regular hours for the librarian are M-F, 3-5 pm. Available at other times upon request.

For information and access, contact 520-621-2870, PG4gdWVycz0iem52eWdiOmZ1bmViYXJ1aGFnQHJ6bnZ5Lm5ldm1iYW4ucnFoIj5mdW5lYmFydWhhZ0Byem52eS5uZXZtYmFuLnJxaDwvbj4=.

The catalog provides access to the materials in the Kuiper Building and the reading room in the Sonett Building as well as selected items in the Space Imagery Center.
