Athenaeum of Philadelphia
An historic, member-supported library, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia was founded in 1814, decades before the advent of free public libraries. In its National Historic Landmark building on Philadelphia's Washington Square, the Athenaeum continues to foster research, learning and conversation, focusing its strengths and resources on the needs and interests of a community that is increasingly diverse and ever more vibrant.
