Last month, we had the opportunity to join Creative Philadelphia for another ribbon cutting at Paschalville Library, this time celebrating the dedication of its Percent for Art installation.
The artwork, Mushroom Seat Mosaics by artist Josh Sarantitis, creates an inviting outdoor space where community members can gather and relax beyond the walls of the library.
A special thank you to @creativephl, the @freelibrary , Josh Sarantitis, and all of the community members whose input and support helped bring this project to life.

What helps democracy endure?
The short answer: All of us.
For the International Day of Democracy, Pew hosted a discussion with Roswell Encina, president and CEO of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, and Kelly Richards, president and director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, about how free expression and exchanging ideas—and the civic institutions that make that possible—can help democracy in America as we look toward the next 250 years.

Libraries and parks are not just places to read and learn, but places that can inspire and give new opportunities to kids and community members.
We are very proud to be investing in and doing major renovations at McPherson Square Library and Park. Similar to the community, we are already looking forward to the ribbon-cutting!
For updates on the project you can go to www.bit.ly/McPherson-updates or check out the link in our bio.
