Summer of Wonder at the Frankford Library

Hello Frankford Community Member,

The Free Library has kicked off its Summer of Wonder Program, and the recently opened Frankford branch will also be participating.

Throughout the summer, children can keep track of their reading, activities, and library programs with the take-home Summer of Wonder Activity Map, available online in 13 languages. We’ve also included fun activity prompts, a draw-your-own comic panel, an anagram puzzle, and — most excitingly — a fold-out map of Philadelphia, where kids can plot their Summer of Wonder progress with our specially designed Philly Stickers.  Check in with your librarian to learn how you can earn prizes along the way, including books, lanyards, rubber ducks, museum passes, and more!

For more information, please see the links below.

Frankford Library Reopening Delayed

 There has been an unexpected change in the scope of this project and, regrettably, we did not meet our funding goals. Due to the funding shortfall, the work planned for the second lower-level meeting room has been cancelled.  Meeting space options on both the upper and lower levels remain in the current project scope.

The projected re-opening date has also been changed following contractual delays, and our new timeline has an anticipated opening of Summer 2024.
