What a great program idea. This shows that the Phoenixville Library isn't just about books. It really is a great istitution that cares about others.

I know they also do a lot to benefit Phoenixville residents by making numerous contributions to PACS.

Received a phone call from my sister (who happens to be moving into Phoenixville on Saturday) who said there is a sign in front of the new 101 Bridge Restaurant saying that it will be opening tomorrow(6/25). It appears they are having a private opening tonight. If anyone here attended tonight or plans to attend over the next couple of days, please write in with your thoughts on Phoenixville's newest restaurant.
