Daily News | Libraries are evolving to meet the growing health and safety needs of residents
On a cold, rainy, and windy November day, Robert Sickel Jr. found refuge in a cozy spot in the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Parkway Central branch. A music lover, he spent the day reading a book about the rock band Black Sabbath, searching online job postings, and checking in with family.
All staff are offered voluntary training in topics such as using the overdose-reversing drug Narcan, de-escalating tension, and dealing with an active shooter. Many library guests, like Jude McSenn, 2½, and his nanny Tarryn Pietersen, still enjoy coming in person to choose books, enjoy story hour programs, and interact with peers.
