Hello Ward 6!
On Thursday, Mayor Gray will be presenting his budget to the Ward at the Capitol Hill Montessori at the Logan School. He is proposing quite the investment in our libraries. Whether you want to check out a book or binge watch Season 5 of Buffy (See? I made it relevant), DCPL is one of the most awesome resources in the city and Mayor Gray wants to make it more awesome. (Yes, I have checked out Buffy DVDs)
In his proposed budget, every District public library will be open 7 days a week. Additionally, there will be $2M for more books and $8M for expanded hours. On top of all of that, Mayor Gray is budgeting funds to build/repair MLK Library along with the Cleveland Park, Palisades, and Woodridge libraries.
Are you excited for this investment? Do you think it’s not enough? Are there any issues you would like to ask Mayor Gray or the DCPL staff? Come on out Thursday and ask! The town hall info is:
