Kensington Library

The Kensington Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, located near the York-Dauphin El station, serves the communities of Kensington, West Kensington, and Norris Square. Offering a wide range of materials in English and Spanish, the library provides a welcoming space for learning and exploration.

With a rich history dating back to the early 1700s, the Kensington Branch has been a vital resource for the neighborhood, evolving from its origins as Branch Number 3 of the Free Library system to its current location opened in 1956. Renovated in 1997 as part of the Changing Lives campaign, the library continues to play a significant role in the community, offering services such as book drops, reference assistance, and a variety of engaging events for all ages.
