Final 2025 Free Library of Philadelphia Citywide Town Halls Are This Week

Final Free Library Town Halls for the Summer

The final 2025 Free Library town halls to gather public input for its next strategic plan are happening this week. All Philly residents are invited to join.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Free Library of Philadelphia and the Free Library Foundation are reimagining the future of our city’s public libraries—and they want to hear directly from Philadelphians one last time this summer.

Throughout June, July, and August, residents have been gathering at Free Library Town Halls across the city to share their perspectives, ideas, and hopes for the future of Philadelphia’s libraries. Now, the final two sessions are taking place this week.

Join the Final Town Halls

Organizers encourage all Philadelphians to attend a session that works best for their schedule. Each town hall will include remarks from Library and Foundation leadership and gather ideas from the community. Translation, sign language interpretation, and light refreshments will be provided. Sessions are facilitated by The ROZ Group and documented by Creative Repute, Inc.
