In 1996, the PHS library’s biggest challenge was to move 14,000 volumes and other materials safely, efficiently and in order, to facilitate quick and orderly reshelving at PHS’s new headquarters at 100 N. 20th Street.  These movable carts, which helped to fill three truckloads of library materials, accomplished that.

Blaine Bonham, Philadelphia Green director and Patricia Schrieber, street trees coordinator, PG,  are standing in the Kitchen Garden at PHS headquarters (325 Walnut Street, Philadelphia), looking at what’s growing.
