While Fishtown rallies for lost library, Nutter will receive literacy award

As we reported earlier, supporters of the Fishtown Library -- which is slated to be shut down as part of Mayor Nutter's budget cuts -- will rally tonight to keep the institution open.

While they demonstrate, Mayor Nutter will receive an award for his commitment to improving literacy in Philadelphia. He's slated to appear at the Center for Literacy award ceremony at the Suzanne Roberts Theater tonight.
