The Thomas F. Donatucci Branch of the Free Library in Philadelphia, originally known as the Passyunk Branch, has been a vital community resource since its establishment in 1914. Located at the intersection of 20th and Shunk Streets, the library serves the neighborhoods of Girard Estate, Packer Park, Passyunk Homes, St. Richards, and West Passyunk.

Renamed in 2004 to honor Thomas F. Donatucci Sr., a dedicated community leader, the library is part of a legacy supported by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The branch features several murals by Calvin Jones, celebrating notable figures and the library's commitment to education and community engagement.

I got my first library card here and spent hours reading here. Thank God it's a historical building or it would have been gone years ago.
