Quaker Information Center

Philadelphia was founded by Quakers in 1681. The Quaker philosophy of tolerance and discussion has shaped this city. The Information Center is a comfortable place to talk, browse, read and acquire Quaker literature. The center is staffed between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, but is designed to be useful to walk-in visitors even when it's not staffed. A wide variety of literature, maps, charts, sample books and catalogs are available and employees will be happy to answer questions and make appropriate referrals to Quaker (or Friends, as they're called) resources. The Quaker Information Center is located in the lobby of the Friends Center, which houses eight Quaker organizations.
