Free Library of Philadelphia Stays Open

I recently posted about the Free Library of Philadelphia having to close many branches and end most of its programs.

Good news!

The Free Library of Philadelphia received a flood of support. Here’s a thank you from library president and director, Siobhan Reardon.

There has been a lot of talk about electronic media taking over print. I think it’s great that a library (print) with such history was saved, in large part, by the efforts of the online community (electronic).

I think it’s neat how things like Twitter and blogs have been a big part of helping the library.
