Its a very extensive library, well laid out and inclusive. Its a favorite.

Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I checked out The Iwata Letters and found the collection accessible and informative.

This is an interesting place to visit. On my last visit I saw copies of the Bill of Rights. Visitors were also able to see the archives which are not usually open to the public. A person can access information about the Civil War the Civil Rights movement women in Philadelphia Jews in Philadelphia, among other topics.
