Connecting children to books, mentors, and the joy of discovery.
School Libraries
Since launching in 2009 with just two schools, WePAC’s library opening initiative has grown into a movement — fueled by community support — bringing vibrant libraries and the joy of reading back to countless children across West Philadelphia.
Partner Schools
WePAC recruits and trains volunteers, organizes library spaces, and provides ongoing operational support to ensure these school libraries thrive and serve their students well.
Member Schools
School staff or Home & School Associations recruit their own volunteers or employ staff to run library programs, while WePAC and Penn Libraries Community Engagement offer guidance, training, and systems support to help these libraries operate smoothly and effectively.
