100 North 12th Street at Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19107Description
The Free Library of Philadelphia recently completed extensive renovation and modernization of five of our 54 locations—part of the ambitious Building Inspiration: 21st Century Libraries Initiative, which was made possible in large part by a historic $25 million gift from the William Penn Foundation, the largest private gift ever received by the Free Library.
The South Philadelphia Library reopened in June 2016 in the brand-new South Philadelphia Community Health and Literacy Center, which brings together the services of a library, a recreation center, a city health center, and a Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) pediatricians’ office in one location to better serve the community.
