Lawyers in Libraries 2023
Philadelphia Legal Assistance is partnering with the Free Library of Philadelphia to bring legal information and resources to the community. Every month, a PLA expert will host a workshop on a specific legal issue at the Parkway Central Library. Following these workshops, our Community Engagement Associate will host resource tables on the same topics at North Philadelphia library branches on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
