The Friends of the Philadelphia City Institute (PCI) Library was founded in 1997 to support our library, generally by providing financial support to the library when a need arises.

Thanks to your donations, the Friends have:

● supplemented the periodicals collection,

● provided honorariums for Conversations with Philadelphia Ballet speakers,

● paid for prizes for the Teen and Adult Summer Reading Program,

● sponsored the Family Cooking Club and Concert Series,

● paid for items to improve staff working conditions,

● paid for yoga classes, and

● raised the money for the PCI lift that makes the Children’s Room and the Meeting Room handicap accessible.

Thank you for your contribution.
