Budget crisis shuts Free Library of Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, my home state for the last 9 years, has been without a budget for 75 days. The crisis has affected pay for state employees and threatened or shut down many recipients of state funding. The latest potential victim is the Free Library of Philadelphia, which will close on Oct. 2 if a budget is not passed.

The Free Library of Philadelphia just announced that the budget legislation needed to keep the library open has passed. Phew!
