Oak Lane Library was supposed to host the Free Library of Philadelphia’s annual summer reading challenge, provide free lunches for kids, and be available as a cooling center this past summer. But none of that happened, because a coil in the library’s air conditioner broke. Because of the age of the building’s air conditioner, the replacement coil needed to be custom-made, Collins said. The Free Library ordered a replacement part, which was successfully installed in August. The Oak Lane branch’s roof was then replaced, and the library finally reopened in September.
