Save the Oldest Public Library in the U.S.
“Before there was America, there was the Darby Free Library.”
Less than four miles from my childhood home, you will find the Darby Free Library — until the end of the year, anyway. The oldest continuously operating library in America is facing its demise without outside donations.
While I’m sure that they hope that someone will write one giant check to cover their expenses, we shouldn’t underestimate the power of a lot of little checks. So if you would, please, send $5 to the following address:
The Darby Free Library
1001 Main Street
P.O. Box 164
Darby, PA 19023
The Library is a non-profit Pennsylvania Corporation and qualifies as a 501 C-3 Federal tax-deductible organization. Its story has been profiled in the local media, as well as Boing Boing, The Huffington Post and UPI.
Do it for the history. Do it for the kids to have a safe place for homework. Do it so 10,000 local residents will have a place to go for free computer and internet access. I don’t care what your reason is. Just do it.
