The Free Library of Philadelphia, established by Benjamin Franklin, encompasses 55 branches throughout the city—so patrons can access the information they need. The neo-Greek architecture of the Central branch's building on Vine Street reflects the prototypical image of what one expects a magnificent library to look like. The Central branch has an excellent music collection and a rare book archive. And the rooftop cafeteria is very inexpensive. There is also Internet access, adult education classes, reader development and children's workshops in most branches.
