More information on Friends Of The Free Library Book Store
The Free Library of Philadelphia, established by Benjamin Franklin, encompasses 55 branches throughout the city—so patrons can access the information they need. The neo-Greek architecture of the Central branch's building on Vine Street reflects the prototypical image of what one expects a magnificent library to look like. The Central branch has an excellent music collection and a rare book archive. And the rooftop cafeteria is very inexpensive. There is also Internet access, adult education classes, reader development and children's workshops in most branches.
