Beginning March 7, 2009 the House and Library will be closed on Saturdays. 

The Library of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York is a nationally recognized research facility and the single largest member supported law library in the United States. It ranks among the very best of all U. S. law libraries.

We have an extensive collection of current and early edition treatises, current and superseded statutes and digests for Federal and all state jurisdictions, case reporters, law reviews, and international and foreign law material. The library also contains the single most comprehensive collection of U. S. and New York State appellate court briefs and records on appeal available.

Our knowledgeable reference librarians assist more than 2,500 visitors to the library every month. The professional staff is thoroughly familiar with the Library's collection and is prepared to direct you to appropriate sources - print or electronic - and assist in formulating research strategies. To reach the reference desk call (212) 382-6666.
