Announcement

In June of this year the Peace Palace Library has launched a new website. This new website was meant to enhance your user experience and your overall access to the PPL online information services.

Although most of the standard information delivery services have remained operational, to our great regret, some of the newly designed features are not yet fully functional. In fact, these have recently obstructed your interaction with the PPL online Library Services.

Naturally, for the past few weeks, the PPL staff have taken notice of many requests to address these issues.

Owing to this, the PPL staff would like to reassure you that we are working diligently towards achieving a permanent solution for all the current technical challenges on the website. In fact, two of the challenges, extending the term of your library membership and online payment, have already been corrected and are now operational.

The Peace Palace Library always strives to deliver a flawless user experience to all our patrons and will continue to do so. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this temporary lapse in services might have caused you.

Should you require any personal assistance,  please do not hesitate to contact us directly via library@peacepalace.org

All incoming messages will be replied to within two business days.

 

Sincerely,

The PPL Team
