Berks County Law Library for Legal Research in Reading
The Berks County Law Library, on the 5th floor of the Berks County Courthouse in Reading, keeps a computer with access to Westlaw so people can look up the law themselves. It is a department of the 23rd Judicial District Court of Common Pleas and is under the direction of the Board of Judges and the District Court Administrator.
This is a place to do your own legal research, not a place to get help with your case. The Law Library is not staffed and cannot provide legal assistance. It does not provide forms or legal documents, and it does not provide printing or copying.
The Law Library is at Berks County Courthouse, 5th Floor, 633 Court Street, Reading, PA 19601. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The county building is open 8 AM to 5 PM and is closed on holidays.
The page does not list who may use the Law Library or whether there is any charge, and it lists no phone number for the library itself. Court Administration, which oversees the department, can be reached with general questions at 610-478-6208, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, at the Berks County Services Center, 4th Floor, 633 Court Street, Reading, PA 19601.
The Law Library page also gathers links for the community, including Berks County Family Court, the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, self help instructions and self help links, the Berks County Bar Association, MidPenn Legal Services and the court schedule. Those links are offered as a resource and should by no means be considered legal advice.
