Celebrate Jenkins' Grand Opening During National Library Week

By Dan Giancaterino •  April 2, 2019
  • National Library Week 2019
     

Help us celebrate National Library Week at Jenkins from April 8-12! This year's theme is Libraries = Strong Communities. That's true for Jenkins -- for more than 215 years we've played a major role in Philadelphia's legal community, supporting judges, attorneys and self-represented litigants.

Join us each morning for breakfast. We'll be holding giveaways of legal-related products and services* as well. There's a quiz involved, so make sure you take advantage of the free coffee!

Wednesday, April 10 will be a special day. Join us at 12:30 pm for a ribbon cutting. Our board president, Theodore (Ted) Simon will be the Master of Ceremonies. We'll have a grand opening cake. There'll also be a special fun giveaway that day for the first 75 people through the door.

This is the week to join Jenkins. Get a colleague to become a member and you'll both** receive a free LegalBoard -- the keyboard designed specifically for lawyers.

So come on down to 1801 Market and be a part of the strong Philly legal community at Jenkins!

* Including, but not limited to, 1 Jenkins membership for 2020, 2 free CLE Specials, 2 one-hour small conference room rentals, 3 free notary services, 4 document delivery requests, 4 overdue fine forgivenesses, 8 gift cards.

** Offer limited to first 7 new memberships. You have to be a current Jenkins member. Your friend has to be a current non-member.
