Hello Friends of DPLA,

We've been hearing from public libraries and others around the country who are recommending DPLA to their patrons and communities for free access to cultural heritage artifacts, ebooks, and educational and genealogical resources.

To make it easier for libraries (or anyone!) to share this information, we've put together the following summary of our services, along with links to DPLA logos and icons.

Please share this information with your patrons and colleagues, and feel free to get in touch<mailto:info at dp.la> if you have any questions, or if we can be of any further assistance.

We'd love to see how you share these resources. Please send us a link<mailto:info at dp.la> so we can check it out!

Thank you, and stay well,

Shaneé Yvette Murrain
