Lawncrest Library is open M.W.F from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. I am a lawncrest ambassador.

The Lawncrest Library has reopened! With limited days and hours, but still we are excited. Yesterday some of the Ambassadors visited the library (for the first time in a while!) and met in-person with Brian and Marcela, the Lawncrest librarians. We walked around the different rooms and spaces at the library and all shared dreams and ideas for the changes coming through #RebuildPHL. And Ambassadors Ms. Tina and MyKyah renewed their library cards! Stay tuned for updates about ...how Lawncrest community members can more actively be involved with the design process for Rebuild Lawncrest Recreation Center and Library. Please "like" and share our page with your neighbors! The Lawncrest Ambassadors are a network of neighbors who strengthen and steward our local recreation center and library.
