Collaboration Center

Library. Language. Learning.

The Collaboration Center is a welcoming space housed within the annex of the Jenks Academy for the Arts and Sciences in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. The Center features the school library, language, and learning resources and will be available for all K-8 students, staff and faculty beginning Fall 2022.

Principal Corinne Scioli and Chestnut Hill Library’s Children’s Librarian Prather O’Donnell, together with a group of community volunteers, have been working to create a fully-functional library and we need YOUR help! Please consider donating – books/money/time – to help us reach our goal!

Donate Books

We have partnered with Hilltop Books, the local bookstore run by the Friends of the Chestnut Hill Library. Please consider purchasing books for the library through our wish list!

donate money

A quality library serving Jenks should have about 10,000 books. But good news, we’re almost halfway there! Please consider donating towards our GoFundMe so that we can purchase the books needed for our collection.

donate time

The library is always in need of volunteers! Please consider signing up to volunteer some of your time to help in the library or be a regular reader.
