Four member of the “Senior Enjoy Reading” book
club visited me at the Haverford Branch on Valentine’s Day to show me how much
they appreciated the service that we provide to their book club.
The “Seniors Enjoy Reading “ book club operates
out of the West Philly Senior Community Center. My job, as their advisor, is to
assist this group with selecting good titles to read and helping them in
acquiring enough copies so that the seniors can borrow the books for free
through the “Free Library of Philadelphia”. Many of book club members are in
their upper-70s age-range and older (12 women & 2 men). Mrs. Gloria Presha,
one of the Free Library most beloved patrons, is the group's leader.
Without the collaboration between Free Library of
Philadelphia- Haverford Branch and the “Senior Enjoy Reading”, many of these
elderly members would not be able to receive their books due to their mobility restrictions.
Mrs. Presha and I have been collaborating for the last five years in efforts to
keep this book club running strong. Mr.Philly Librarian
