It's National Librarian Day!

  •  

Today, April 16th, is National Librarian Day. While every day is a good day to be grateful and thankful for our enormously helpful Jenkins Librarians, I thought I would publicly thank Jenkins' co-executive directors, Ida Weingram and Nancy Garner, and the entire Jenkins staff for their professionalism, dedication, and devotion to our library. Jenkins Law Library, America's First Law Library, is an iconic Philadelphia institution. This is true because of our incredible staff, and for that, we - the Trustees, Members, Community,  Bench, and Bar - say, 'Thank You!'

Theodore "Ted" Simon
President, Jenkins Law Library
