The Free Library Passport Acceptance Facility, normally located at Northeast Regional Library, is popping up at Tacony Library. The Northeast Regional Library will be closed through January 28, 2018 due to a building emergency; the Tacony Passport Office will be open January 19 through at least January 28, 2018.
