Wish Wall
What do you want America to be like in the future? Perhaps you have a wish for your own future.
Visit our wish wall, located in the 2nd Floor West Gallery, and write or draw your vision for our nation’s future. Your wish will then be added to the wall to encourage further discussion, and to display the diversity of lived experiences, stories, and desires of our community.
The Free Library encourages patrons to make their voice heard and delve deeper into civic engagement. By advancing literacy, guiding learning, and inspiring curiosity, the Free Library of Philadelphia can provide avenues for patrons to work towards making their wishes into reality.
This program is a part of the exhibition celebrating America’s 250th, Philadelphia: For the People, which will be on display from May 2026 – January 2027 in the 2nd Floor West Gallery of the Parkway Central Library.
