The David Cohen Ogontz Branch - Free Library of Philadelphia serves the communities of Ogontz and Belfield, located at Church Lane and Ogontz Avenue in Philadelphia, PA. This branch offers various services such as book browsing, computer use, printing, reference assistance, and free Wi-Fi access.

The history of this library dates back to the 1960s when the community first requested a library. After facing challenges with sites, funding, and construction, the library finally opened its doors in 1997, thanks to the efforts of David and Florence Cohen who played a pivotal role in organizing the community. The library building, with carousel bookshelves, was inaugurated in February 1997, becoming a cherished resource for the neighborhood.
