Diwali, the "Festival of Lights", is the ancient Hindu festival signifying the victory of good over evil by commemorating the return of Lord Rama from his 14-year-long exile and his vanquishing of the demon-king Ravana. Our Diwali celebration, popular with the Indian community in Philadelphia, includes a sumptuous buffet of Indian food and sweets, traditional music and dance performances, and activities including Henna, diyas, rangoli, games, and firecrackers.

WEEKNIGHTS AT THE WAGNER: Building for Books - Philadelphia’s Libraries

Architectural Historian Michael J. Lewis will trace the roots and development of Philadelphia’s private and public libraries.

The Quakers who founded Philadelphia believed in universal literacy and were great creators of libraries. The first was the Library Company, which Benjamin Franklin helped establish in 1731 and which was America’s first subscription library. But Quakers also believed that knowledge should be useful, and gave their libraries a pragmatic character unlike those of any other American city.
