Children's Library is a special place. It should be accessible to all
Friends of PCI (Philadelphia City
Institute), is raising funds to install a lift to the make the
Children's Room on the lower level accessible to all. They have raised
over $174,365 toward the
goal of $400,000 needed to install a lift but there is still a long way
to go. Thank you for contributions you have already given. Both large
and small donations are much needed and appreciated. Please send a
check to: Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation/PCI Lift, 1901 Vine
Street, Suite 111, Philadelphia PA 19103.
"Small children visiting the library love to explore our preschool
play area, filled with books, blocks, LEGOs, puzzles, stuffed animals,
even a puppet theater! Our storytimes are very popular, each one
attracting audiences of 30 to 50 people. School-age children and
teenagers come every day after school to participate in our Literacy
Enrichment Afterschool Program (LEAP), where they can get one-on-one
help with their homework and enriching literacy activities. Children and
teenagers visit the library to read for school and for pleasure and to
use computers in the Children's Room to complete homework and research
assignments and to play games. I'm sad to have to tell those with mobility impairments that they must miss out on these opportunities." ~Erin Hoopes, Head Librarian, Philadelphia City Institute.
