Philly parents: your library card is doing way more than you think 📚👀 Play spaces. Evening hours. Saturday programs. Baby gear. Birding backpacks. Actual toddler bathroom logistics. Some branches are basically a free outing hiding in plain sight. I pulled together a few of my favorite Philly library secrets + the branches worth knowing, especially if you’re looking for something cheap, indoors, after daycare, or on a Saturday. And tell me your branch + the secret parents should know about it. I’m already making Part 2.
