However\, it has been closed since 2013. Its research materials still include World Book Encyclopedias and a physical card catalog. There is no access to digital books\, electronic research materials\, periodicals\, and other critical technological resources to ensure that our students can excel and compete academically. Despite our school’s successes and strengths\, our students cannot effectively engage with their present education and prepare for life after graduation without a library and a technologically accessible resource center. \nThis fundraiser aims to restore the library to its former glory while incorporating modern resources to empower current and future students. We aim to provide a state-of-the-art library and resource center staffed with librarians so Girls’ High girls can thrive.

His latest book\, George Washington’s Momentous Year: Twelve Months that Transformed the Revolution\, features the Philadelphia Campaign\, the months-long push by the British Army to take over the colonial capital. \nAdmission is $15 at the door or online at www.philalandmarks.org.
