In celebration of Philadelphia hosting the 2025 American Library Association's Annual Conference, we are hosting a Special Collections Open House in the Print and Picture Collection.

Visit us on the second floor of Parkway Central Library to see materials from the Free Library's Special Collections (including the Map Collection!). Drop by anytime between 10 AM to 4 PM on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28. 

While you are here, be sure to check out the Second Floor West Gallery's exhibition Go Birds: Appreciating Our Avian Friends, which features works from the Children's Literature Research Collection, Government Publications, the Map Collection, and the Print and Picture Collection.

The open house is open to all!
