Free Library Myth #5

The Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation – the non-profit arm that supports the Free Library – works to bring in private donations that account for nearly one-third of what we need to operate our extraordinary programs and services.

Interested in learning more about the Foundation? Check out this fun video and consider giving a gift today to help us continue our mission to advance literacy, guide learning, and inspire curiosity in Philadelphia and beyond!


Our #FLPMyths social media series will attempt to dispel several library-related myths, and explain the truth behind these common misconceptions. Follow along on Facebook and Twitter over the next month, and of course, here on the blog!
