December: A Time to Give Back

The Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting the city’s public library system. While facilities and infrastructure are provided by the City, the Foundation, alongside private donations, enables the library to offer essential programs that foster literacy, learning, and curiosity.

This holiday season, you can support this mission by becoming a member of the Foundation or by donating to the Free Library Fund. Donations are directed to the most pressing needs and benefit all library branches citywide, ensuring residents of all ages and abilities can access transformative resources and programs.

Contributions to the Free Library Fund are tax-deductible. You can donate online or visit the Support Us page for more details. For questions or to donate by phone, contact [email protected] or 215-567-7710. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
