Today is National Library Workers Day, and we at the Free Library of Philadelphia are incredibly grateful to our hard working and thoughtful staff who advance literacy, guide learning, and inspire curiosity each and every day in libraries throughout our great city. Each year, our staff members answer more than 3 million questions, host more than 25,000 programs, circulate nearly 7 million items, and welcome more than 6 million visitors at the Free Library! Staff members speak more than 30 languages, and they are happy to help you with your research or recommend a book title if you're just looking for something good to read. Take a minute to watch our great staff in action, and thank you to all of the Free Library employees who help transform lives.
