o Visit nearby branches: South Philadelphia, Independence, and Whitman 🏫

o Access free digital resources 24/7 on the Free Library website 💻

📞For any questions or concerns, call our free help line at 1-833-TALK-FLP (1-833-825-5357). Thank you for your patience as we work to restore full service.

Thank you all! Be well, be safe, and stay warm!
