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.
There is a small collection of books and journals located in Room 110 of the Sonett Building for the convenience of the faculty and staff in that building. Please contact the librarian for access to this reading room and also to the collection of topographic maps.
LPL Library is staffed for the Fall Semester 2016:
Tuesday 7:30 am-3:30 pm
Thursday 12:00-4:00 pm
See the LPL Collection Guide (pdf file 397KB) and the LPL Circulation Procedures Guide (pdf file 349KB) for more information.
