At Pulliam airport we found a locker rented in Penelope's name with an 8-digit numbered combination lock. Our current task is figuring out that combination

Max and I are still trying to figure out what Penelope's text ("airport + philanthropist": my edit here) might have to do with the combination...
I was going to point out that an airport has GATES and Bill Gates is a philanthropist. However, it seems you're looking for an 8-digit number. So, nevermind.

Thoughts so far:
Alexandria and Pergamum are both ancient libraries.
UCL (University College London) is next to the British Library
Fiction is sorted by Authors Surname
Non fiction is sorted by subject
The man in every library is Melvil Dewey
Lots of libraries have busts/ statues
Has anyone got a more appropriate acronym for UCL?

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina has a statue of Demetrius Phalereus, the ancient Alexandria library founder, in its lobby. His, like a dozen other names I've tried, is NADA.
So, being still on those fun meds from a dental procedure early this a.m. here's my latest guess. Bril synopsis btw, spoonhead!!

Hey spoon
I have it on very good authority that the tab was put there by the PM for people who are playing but would like the extra hints. Just a little extra nudge for some if needed.
Keeping this in mind if you guys want to work out the password on your own or the puzzle on the own then avoid clicking on the page. It will more than likely contain spoilers
