Can you tell me what year that was?

Thank you for sharing. I have only lived in Philly since 2007 and my oldest child started kindergarten in 2017 so still learning about the school districts history.

I’m sorry I can be a little overzealous in meetings like this! Been a book-nerd my whole life!

One thing that I noticed is in the past my daughter’s SDP chromebook has had trouble connecting to the internet in FLP buildings. That seems like a city wide error.

Thank you! We live very close to the Lovett Library!

We are shooting to visit all 54 FLP branches before my kids graduate from the SDP in 2030 & 2034. We have been to 22 so far. Library advocate & public school advocate!

Who knows, a lot could change between now and the 25-26 school year! (When she needs to apply for school selection)

I just hope she chooses a school that will be a place that brings her joy, and she can be academically successful!

I don’t think schools like Central and Masterman would be a good fit for my current 7th grade child - so after 9 years of attending a k-8 school without a library, she’s likely going to a high school without one too!

My son decided in 2nd grade he wanted to go to Central and Drexel. Too early!

Then thinking about it
“Are there libraries at Central High and Drexel?”

Me “yes!”

Him “okay, phew!”

(This child is only in 3rd grade, I hope the School District of Philadelphia doesn’t make him wait 6 years until he is in high school to attend a school with a library)
