It was a win for library funding but it's only the beginning of what we need. #FundOurLibrariesPHL #Reaby4th

This 29% increase is the largest single-year increase the Free Library has seen in recent memory. Through the public pressure we built over the last 5 years, we pushed @PhillyMayor, @Darrell_Clarke & @phlcoucil to make libraries & public spaces a priority. #fundourlibrariesPHL

In the next several months, the Free Library will be hiring workers to fill approximately 292 long-empty positions necessary to provide consistent 5 day service and longer open-hours. #FundourLibrariesPHL

HUGE WIN! We won an unprecedented @FreeLibrary $13 million one-year budget increase. Congratulations to the community members and Library workers who organized tirelessly through this budget season. #fundourlibrariesPHL

Today, again, I tried to visit my library and it was closed due to staffing issues. 💔💔 So upsetting to see community resources closed for preventable reasons. @PHLCouncil please #fundourlibrariesphl! @FreeLibFriends

Check out this video from our rally! The city budget is still being negotiated. We call on @Darrell_Clarke and all city council to fully fund the library and parks & rec! Thanks to @HelenGymAtLarge for standing with us! #FundOurLibrariesPHL #RecItPhilly youtube.com/watch?v=wOl-ED…

#FundOurLibrariesPHL

We call on all city council, including council pres @Darrell_Clarke, to increase funding for libraries and parks & rec, to give people of all ages safe & engaging places to learn, play, & spend time. Public spaces are essential to ending gun violence! #FundOurLibrariesPHL

We are proud to partner with city workers, community members, union leaders, the @PHParksAlliance, @HelenGymAtLarge, & everyone who came out to fight for fully funded & staffed libraries, parks, rec centers, and all our vital public spaces! #FundOurLibrariesPHL #RecItPhilly

Nearly 30% of Free Library locations had closures because of understaffing and buildings issues. @Darrell_Clarke , what's your plan to fully fund our libraries? $10 million is not nearly enough. #FundOurLibrariesPHL

.@darrell_clarke We Need to Fully Fund Our Libraries! Please add $30M more to last year's budget numbers to make sure every neighborhood has an essential Library! #FundOurLibrariesPHL #LibrariesAreEssential

@darrel_clarke Library Staff continue to bring joy and culture to our neighborhoods. Please #FundOurLibrariesPHL in this year's budget to ensure that can continue

We have tabled this month in Center City, West Philly, Southwest Philly, and North Philly. Community members across the city want full funding & full staffing for vibrant safe libraries. #FundOurLibrariesPHL @Darrell_Clarke

Overheard at the @FreeLibrary 's Mutual Aid fair in Norris Square Park: "My daughter always asks to go to the library and weekends, and I have to tell her our libraries are not open on weekend." #FundOurLibrariesPHL @Darrell_Clarke

We tabled in Kensington today and collected at least 100 signatures calling for an additional $30 million in library funding. We need a massive increase to get to weekend hours and fully staffed, safe buildings. #FundOurLIbrariesPHL @Darrell_Clarke

My @afscmeDC47 at Parks & Rec are also struggling to provide services to community and stay safe themselves. Why are our huge delapidated Rec Centers full of children allowed to open with ONE staff person? @Darrell_Clarke @PhillyMayor #FundourLIbrariesPHL

Statement from the City-Wide Friends of the Free Library of Philadelphia regarding the Mayor's proposed budget address. #FundOurLibrariesPHL.

@darrell_clark, we need enough funding to have all libraries open on the weekends and evenings. #FundOurLibrariesPHL

Library workers are essential! Through the pandemic, staff worked on-site providing virtual programs, books & movies, computer access, vaccination and testing! Hire enough workers to keep our library staff safe. @darrell_clarke #FundOurLibrariesPHL

8 branches closed or reduced their hours today. Our extraordinary library workers and the neighbors they serve deserve safe buildings and a full complement of staff. Call council and tell them to #FundOurLibrariesPHL
