Library Company of Philadelphia, founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1731, agrees to merger with Temple University

omg what a great news 🤩 I'm so hyped for the Library Company of Philadelphia! 273 years young and still going strong 🎉 it's amazing to see how Benjamin Franklin's legacy is being preserved for future generations. This merger with Temple University will not only save the library from financial difficulties but also bring new opportunities for research and education. I mean, who wouldn't want to learn more about history, right? 🤓 I'm all for preserving our cultural heritage and making it accessible to everyone. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and this partnership brings even more excitement to Philly's cultural scene! 💖
 
🤝 just hope they can make it work without losing that amazing collection 📚💡 i mean benjamin franklin would want his legacy to be preserved in all its glory 😊 the library co has been a philly staple for centuries so it's a big deal when anything changes 🔄 good on temple uni for stepping up and supporting this historic institution 💕
 
man i think its awesome that the library company is gonna merge w/ temple univ 🤓 they really need that stability tho $23 mil isnt chump change. ben franklin would def approve of this merger btw he was all about education and progress. dont get me wrong, i feel for the lib company's financial struggles but sometimes u gotta take risks 2 stay relevant 😊
 
🤦‍♂️ Ugh, another big merger that just means more red tape and bureaucratic headaches for the staff... I mean, what's next? The Library Company becoming part of a giant university system? It's just going to lose its unique identity and character. And $23 million is a crazy amount for them to raise to stay independent... does anyone know where they're even finding that kind of cash? 💸 The whole thing just feels like a big business deal rather than a cultural institution preserving our history and knowledge. 😒
 
this merger is a total game changer for philly 🙌, i mean think about it - ben franklin's oldest institution is getting a major boost from temple uni 🤝 it's not just about stability but also about preserving that rich history and making it more accessible to the community 💡 i'm hyped to see what kind of innovative programs they'll come up with combining research, archives, and education 📚👨‍🎓 and let's be real, $23 million is a huge weight off their shoulders financially 💸 this partnership has all the makings of a win-win for everyone involved 👍
