OMG! Library Mixtape has won Best of Philly 2026 from the editorial team at Philadelphia Magazine 😮🎉
Library Mixtape is such a community effort, from voting on our name, to theme suggestions, to our volunteer co-hosts. While this is a Library Win and moment of Library Joy for Librarian Jane (host of Library Mixtape) they want to make sure to shout out everyone who’s made our club possible over the last year. We got this far together, and this achievement belongs to all of us 💖
Thanks so much to:
• Adam, Alina, and Radiyah in Art Department of the FLP for meeting up to discuss how to launch club programs at the library.
• The Parkway Central Library custodial crew, who physically make our club setup and take downs possible.
• The Parkway Central Library security crew, we love to see you enjoying the music on your rounds. Thanks for the occasional hand moving huge speakers.
• The Free Library of Philadelphia Graphics Department, particularly Jen and Kevin, for both our club logo and all of the vertical file reproductions made for club to enjoy. Thanks for giving us a brand, and helping to preserve and create engagement around the Music Department’s vertical file collection.
•All of our co-hosts- olivia , Julian James Booker & WRTI Music , Clubfriends Radio & Records , Labor Jawn , fox. , Paul Lewis, and RHETLAW . Y’all each know so much about different aspects of music, and it’s been a pleasure to learn from & listen to something new with all of you 🤗
•David Kazarov of Philly.Sonic.Revs for supplying the Hi Fi sound for half of our club sessions, we really would not sound the same without you. Thanks so much for making sure we’re equipped to keep club going!
•AND YOU, all of our dear listeners 💖 Whether you’re a club regular, or only been to a single session, Library Mixtape only exists because everyone keeps showing up to listen to records together. What an amazing year it’s been! THANK YOU for coming to have fun at the library 😊
