In celebration of National Read A Book Day, Mickey Herr dives deep into the stacks at some of Philadelphia’s most historic and obscure libraries

With an ephemera exhibition opening tomorrow, the Library Company of Philadelphia brings us a collectible slice of life. Remnants of Everyday Life: Historical Ephemera in the Workplace, Street, and Home accentuates design in items ranging from souvenirs to trade cards to paper dolls from the late 18th to mid-20th centuries

The Library Company of Philadelphia extends our Furness lovefest through next month–and follows it with another insightful exhibition into 19th century local life
