We attended the opening of the Ghost River exhibit. The Library Company invited Native American guests who were consultants for the book. Mingling with the members allowed for a greater understanding of the good, the bad, and the ugly of colonization depicted in the book. We also got to see several old books and documents, The card catalog actually till exits for researchers who are big users of this location. The Elliott Bible, the first Bible transcribed in a Native American language, was available for viewing. A light appetizer and beverage spread was provided for the guests in the well maintained meeting rooms.

Note for researchers but they do have two exhibits to see if not researching.
The Logan hall was interesting and memorable.
Although only a couple of years old compared to the old world very nice.
The other exhibit hall was getting set up for their next event. Too bad we could not visit.
For researchers who are visiting, make an appointment to get into the research hall.
Quite impressive.

When planning for my recent trip to Philadelphia, I was excited to learn about this library founded by Benjamin Franklin. Their website showed many areas of interest to me, most of which were said to be "available to the general public".
So I set aside one morning to visit there. I was asked to sign in & put my items into a locker. But aside from viewing some paintings in their lobby area, I was surprised to find I wasn't allowed past that point. Cornelia King was called out to inquire what I wanted to accomplish there. But she brusquely dismissed me, saying that others had scheduled appointments for serious research, and space limitations didn't allow for me to enter the Library. She gave me her business card and said to make an appointment for a future time.
If that's the policy, please say that on their website.

By happenstance, we recently discovered this hidden gem. The building is unassuming, but a sign outside caught our attention. Aside from registering at the main desk, the exhibits are free for the public to browse (Monday through Friday). Their current exhibit, "The Living Book- New Perspectives on Form and Function," features a fascinating collection of vintage and antique books that span a wide range of interests and ages. Of special interest were the 3-D , interactive, and cut-out books. A well-appointed library also contains memorabilia from Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Rush. The next time we visit "The City of Brotherly Love," we certainly will return to the Library Company of Philadelphia.

We have lived in Philadelphia over 70 years and this was the first time that we visited this museum. Specializing in printed matter from the 17th, 18th, 19th centuries the library neither lends books nor provides automatic admission to its stacks. Mainly for researcher, admission to the main area is by qualified membership only. BUT, the exhibits are well worth the walk.

Until next spring, the library company has an excellent exhibit on the history of fashion in Philadelphia. It's well curated, has stories about manufacturing and textiles as well as prints and books.

Someone I met at a garden party works here, and I thought I'd take a look before my flight out...
Sure glad I did! This is the library that Ben Franklin started for the Junto, and it's become a big deal in Philadelphia over the years.
I really enjoyed taking a look around at the exhibit and talking with the docent.
Want to spend more time there when I go back.

I am a resident of Philadelphia and did not know about this library. This is not a library that loans books nor does it have computers (you can't use personal laptop).
This is a library for research only. I visited the small exhibit on African American history. I enjoyed the exhibit because they had historical books and documents that were new to me. The documents are what shaped the start of the African American revolution for acceptance and equal rights by the free Northern blacks.
The reading room has historical books and documents for viewing and research.

A Library Company de Filadélfia está situada em um prédio histórico muito bem preservado e de grande beleza. As exposições temporárias são cuidadosamente montadas e valem a pena ser visitadas. A atual que visitamos é a "That's So Gay" um relato histórico com imagens dos primeiros casais gays dos EUA, ou das primeiras manifestações sobre o assunto, muito interessante e bem montado.

But there is a changing roster of exhibits inside this cultural institution and research library that may be the oldest in the US.The current show on ephemera-is worth seeing- some childrne's toys, other paper products, evocative of their time- long ago! Restroom and they prefer that you put your bag in a free locker. Free. M-F check to be sure 9-4.
