CITY COUNCIL EVENT - THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 17th, 1:00 PM

If you use the Falls of Schuylkill Library, you are already familiar with our aging HVAC. Fortunately, our library is slated to get a new HVAC system later this year. However, there are many other branches in the Free Library system that also have outdated HVACs, resulting in frequent closures that negatively impact the community. Please consider attending this City Council hearing this Friday, April 17 to show your support for our city’s libraries.
