COMING SOON. Explore resources and training materials for teams, schools, and community spaces working to get libraries up and running.
School Library Partnerships
In our work with school libraries we:
- Fund and manage the Integrated Library System and Follett Destiny (a digital catalog), in 15 elementary and 4 high schools throughout Philadelphia. Browse the collection at some of our partner schools.
- Revitalize collections with new, high quality, and culturally responsive books.
- Work with the West Philadelphia Alliance for Children (WePAC), which has been working since 2008 to open and staff elementary school libraries in Philadelphia.
- Develop and provide training materials and resources for a collaborative approach to using the Follett Destiny system and maintaining library spaces.
