Community members, neighbors, developers and more gathered at Wayland Baptist Church to discuss the potential to save the Cecil B. Moore Library, a historic yet underfunded education site in the burgeoning North Philly Sharswood-Peacetown neighborhood. Several residents gave testimony to voice their concerns that the proposals provided via Council-member Jeffrey Young were seeking to sell out their community resource in favor of yet another expensive housing project. The persistent opposition resulted in a near immediate 180 of the previous declaration that the Library would not operate pending repairs. on Thursday, 3/13, just two days after the meeting, the city reopened the Library as its budget shortfalls are remedied.
