The Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation (FLPF) is excited to announce the launch of its brand new standalone website, freelibraryfoundation.org, set to go live on Monday, September 30th. This new online platform will operate separately from the existing Free Library of Philadelphia website and will provide a dedicated space for Foundation initiatives, news, and community engagement.
The new website will serve as a comprehensive resource for community members, patrons, and donors to stay up to date on the FLPF’s ongoing efforts to support the Library’s mission. Visitors can find detailed information about programs funded by the Foundation, upcoming events, community engagement activities, renovation projects, and ways to contribute to the Foundation’s goals.
Monique Moore Pryor, a Philadelphia native and the Foundation’s inaugural Executive Director, expressed her excitement for the project. “The launch of this website will mark a significant milestone for the Foundation, allowing us to better connect with our supporters and the broader community. This level of transparency is an important step in advancing our mission of fostering an enlightened community committed to lifelong learning, advancing literacy, and inspiring curiosity.”
The Website Will Feature:
- Latest News and Updates: Regular posts about the Foundation’s projects, including the ongoing renovations at neighborhood libraries such as Blanche A. Nixon/Cobbs Creek, Cecil B. Moore, Lawncrest, and Richmond branches.
- Community Engagement: Details about the Foundation’s community engagement initiatives funded by a $1 million grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts, designed to gather input from stakeholders, patrons, staff, donors, and city officials.
