The library is the "bedrock of civil society": we must include mobility-impaired people
The Philadelphia City Institute branch of the Free Library on Rittenhouse Square holds programs for all people
on the lower level, currently accessible only by stairs.
A lift is needed to give them all equal access to these resources. Friends

they have raised over $149,445 towards the goal of $400,000 needed to
install a lift. In order to begin the bidding process, 70% of the goal
must be raised - $280,000. Your help is needed to almost double the
amount raised so far. Please send a check to: Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation/PCI Lift, 1901 Vine Street, Suite 111, Philadelphia PA 19103 Click or tap here for more info.
