return, or a new read for the weekend, be sure to check out the PLA Book Nook located in the PLA Lounge.

No sign-out required!

We are excited to share an innovative enhancement to the PLA library: two soundproof Kube booths. 

Need a discreet place to conduct a phone call? Need to participate in a video conference without interruptions or distractions?
We have a special space for you.

Each booth has an adjustable (and comfy) stool, a table ledge, an Ethernet port, a power outlet, and constant air circulation. 

Come into the PLA library to use our brand new booths - today!

As a special privilege, members may reserve a booth. Otherwise, first come, first served.
