Thanks for coming out to our Cheers for Fears Halloween event! We loved seeing all the wonderful costumes. Special thanks to our Deanwood Library staff for organizing!

Hope this isn't another HVAC issue @dcpl?

Library Update: Deanwood Library will have a delayed opening on Saturday, October 22 due to low temperatures.

@DeanwoodFriends @AnnaLysaGayle @dcpl when did they remove the kiosk?

Built in 1976, the Deanwood Library Kiosk is no more. We tried hard to save it without success. Community input is welcome about future use of the site. Elements of the kiosk are being stored by @dcpl for commemoration at the future $24 million full-service Deanwood Library.

Memories of that kiosk as a very young child growing up in Deanwood. Peace to the spirit that brought them there and gave me easy and convenient exposure to books.

DCRA & @DCDGS still want to demolish Deanwood’s library kiosk on Nannie Helen Burroughs 😰. The raze permit was recently filed with @OPinDC’s Historic Preservation Review Board (planning.dc.gov/publication/ra…). @DeanwoodFriends @thienvinh #Ward7

@KingmanPark @DCDGS @OPinDC @thienvinh 💔💔💔

Many #Ward7 neighbors see the structure as an impt touchstone of local Black history. Located along the Deanwood heritage trail, leaders of @DeanwoodFriends have said they want it preserved, repurposed, and put to use. wusa9.com/article/news/l…
