Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, The Publius Foundation possesses scores of books that in some way address or generally contribute to our understanding of liberty. While useful to Foundation staff, these books can be put to greater use by making them available to young people and students in the Pittsburgh area.
As part of what we are calling the Liberty Library, we are publishing a list of books (found below) that students and young people can borrow for a period of one month at no charge. Please email The Publius Foundation at info[at]publiusfoundation.com if you are interested in borrowing one of the below books. The list will be updated as we continue to catalog the books in our possession.
Books are listed alphabetically by author, editor or, in the case of periodical collections, name of periodical.
