The Lillian Marrero Library is being honored for its extensive community-outreach programming, under the leadership of Mieka Moody, branch manager and library supervisor. A community hub in Fairhill/West Kensington for the multiple constituencies it serves, the Lilliam Marrero Library is in the most economically disadvantaged zip code of Philadelphia. Residents struggle with widespread joblessness and/or low wages, physical and mental illness, lack of access to healthy food and medical care, and a lack of stable housing.
