Libraries strengthen democracy every day.

On June 13, 2026, our friends at Scarborough Public Library will host a livestream of TED Democracy Philadelphia: Founding Futures, bringing 15+ new TED Talks about democracy’s next chapter from the stage in Philadelphia directly to our community.

Presented in collaboration with Visit Philadelphia and partners nationwide, and sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts, this event connects local conversation to a national moment.

This livestream event is free to attend! Find the schedule of speakers, and RSVP, here: https://tinyurl.com/SPLTedDemocracy

We hope you’ll be able to join us for this historic program celebrating this historic moment in our nation’s history.

There’s still time to join us today, May 30th, from 1:00pm–2:00pm for our Natural Dyeing program at the library! 🌿🎨

Discover how flowers, plants, and other natural materials can create beautiful, lasting colors on fabric in this hands-on creative workshop. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or simply curious about traditional dyeing techniques, this program offers a welcoming opportunity to learn something new, connect with others, and explore the beauty of the natural world through art.

Natural dyeing blends creativity, sustainability, history, and experimentation—perfect for anyone interested in textiles, gardening, crafting, or trying something completely different.
