Volunteer reading to kids

The West Philadelphia Alliance for Children (WePAC) promotes childhood literacy in West Philadelphia by providing access to high quality, representative books and literacy enrichment that inspire children to become lifelong readers.

At WePAC, reading is... fun! essential! a right! joyful! empowering!

About Us

WePAC’s mission is to bring the joy of reading to Philadelphia kids by reopening and staffing public school libraries. We currently partner with 11 West Philadelphia public school libraries, with 3 in the pipeline for Fall 2025 and we support 2 ‘member’ schools with an emphasis on cultivating representative, high-quality book collections and engaging library programming.

Volunteer

WePAC’s libraries are 100% volunteer run and operated. Dedicated library volunteers are at the heart of our organization’s work and model. We also couldn’t do this work without the time and energy of groups supporting our library reopenings with one-time service projects.

 

Donate

We rely on the contributions of our generous donors to keep our libraries’ doors open. Your donation, large or small, supports our operations, buys high-quality books for our libraries, funds community outreach events, and makes everything we do possible. Thank you for your support!
