Episode Details

As Philadelphians feel the squeeze of rising costs, the Free Library of  Philadelphia is offering something that's always been free, and it's a lot more than books.

In this sponsored bonus episode, Trenae talks with Kelly Richards, President and Director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, about how the library serves as the city's "people's university." From computers and job certification prep to professional headshots, language learning, and even borrowing musical instruments, Kelly walks through the resources available at no cost to every Philadelphian. 

They also get into rare historical collections, a live beehive, expanded branch hours, and what's coming up this summer, including Philly 250, Summer Quest, and a Franklin Institute partnership on the science of soccer.
