Philadelphia Celebrates Black History Month With Launch of the Little Free(dom) Library

February 6, 2024

In honor of Black History Month, Visit Philadelphia has partnered with Little Free Library to launch the Little Free(dom) Library.

More than 30 states have banned books written by Black authors, according to Penn America. The Little Free(dom) library is fighting back by making those books accessible to readers in the area. The library will be giving away 1,500 banned books at one of its 13 locations across the city.
