Pop-Up Komiks Book List
Filipino comics are a long and beloved print tradition in the Philippines and throughout the Filipino diasporas. In honor of Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa (National Language Month) on August 2023 we had on display high-quality reproductions of selected Mars Ravelo publications such as Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman, alongside Free Library of Philadelphia materials about Filipino cultures and in Filipino languages available for browsing and check out. These books and videos connect with the iconic vintage comics and continue the celebration of the many indigenous languages in the Philippines and bring awareness to the ongoing use of native Filipino dialects.

From Blossoms Community Collaborative Book List
Philadelphia artist Kat Claar creates botanical compositions using fresh, dried, and silk flowers combined with custom-painted paper shapes. Claar’s approach blends her interest in floral design with fine art techniques to create unique sculptural forms. This Summer 2023 exhibit included activation of the adjacent alcove space, with materials available for community members to use to create their own sculptures that will be considered for inclusion in the exhibit on an ongoing basis for the duration of the show. Create something you’ve never seen before and be inspired by related library resources as well as items from the personal collections of the curators.
