Access Services is generally the first point of contact at Alpha Park Public Library. We work to ensure our patrons have access to the library’s collection! The Access Services Department is composed of two branches: Circulation and Technical Services.

- Technical Services is responsible for acquiring new materials for the library, as well as cataloging those items and repairing them when necessary.
