While a vote on House Bill 1828 has not be scheduled (as of the time of this posting), we are monitoring the situation closely and will share with you any news that we receive. Meanwhile, here are a few websites that periodically post updates on Philadelphia and Harrisburg activities - if you have an online source for new and updates, please share them with us. Also check out Philadelphia Weekly's article (last link), which makes a strong economic argument for keeping our libraries open.
