Four members of the Greater Philadelphia Branch Coordinating Committee were able to attend the Civic Engagement Fair, at the invitation of the Free Library of Philadelphia. Along with groups like Fair Districts PA, SERVE Philadelphia, and the ACLU, we tabled and chatted from 11 AM to 2 PM with both nonprofits and library patrons. It was a fun way to spend Inauguration Day 2017! Thanks for the invite, Free Library!
