Join the Libraries staff outside the Library Learning Terrace (located at 3300 Race Street – ground floor of Race Hall) for good conversation and some of Philly's famous water ice (that's pronounced 'wooder’) for you Philly newbs) from Siddiq’s in West Philadelphia.
Get there early - the event ends when the water ice runs out!

Welcome! The best way to get to know the Drexel University Libraries' resources, services and spaces is by exploring!
