Library Opening and Staffing

WePAC’s school library opening initiative, launched in September 2009 at two schools, has grown over time due to the support of many. 

We are actively working with the following schools: 

WePAC Partner Schools for 2024-2025:


WePAC Member Schools for 2024-2025:


Partner Schools = WePAC recruits volunteers for the school libraries in addition to organizing the library space, providing operational support, training and onboarding of volunteers. 
Member Schools = School administration or Home & School Association (HASA) recruit their own volunteers for their library spaces or have paid staff supporting the library programming; WePAC and Penn Libraries Community Engagement provides organizing and operational support or guidance, training opportunities for library personnel (paid or volunteer) and systems troubleshooting.
