Junto
The Junto was a group founded by Benjamin Franklin to discuss news of the day and pool resources for what eventually became the Library Company of Philadelphia’s collections.
Today, the Junto is an annual event that allows dedicated Library Company supporters to learn about collection items and support new acquisitions and other collection-focused work. The event is open to Library Company members at the Phyllis Wheatley level and above, as well as to all who donate to that year’s Junto campaign.
