It has been mentioned a few times here already, but it bears repeating, I think: there’s a new group in the early stages of formation — the Philadelphia Alliance of DIY Libraries (PADIYL) — that aims to help small, independent libraries and archives join forces and share resources and know-how.
The website can be found here: www.padiyl.org.
If you’re in the Philadelphia are and you’re interested in getting involved, there is a meeting coming up later this month.
This holds great promise for the city and for community collections everywhere.
