LIBRARY DEMOLITION? COOL!

LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding...this is what they did!
Thursday at about 1:30pm the process of demolishing the old Anacostia Library began. Ketchum students (pictured in yellow hard hats) were there to witness the mayhem. The machines are rattling away even as I write this.

The old Anacostia Neighborhood Library was erected in the 1950's and served the community until 2003. Can you imagine the changes in technology that have taken place since then? The library was built during a time when calculators were the size of our current interim library! 4000 square feet!

If you have question or comments please send them to AnacostiaCommunityFeedback@dc.gov.

nice post-- I've got one on my blog, too. Could you actually change the name of my blog on you sidebar to "Anacostia Now?" (right now it says "Anacostian")

Thanks!

Zoinks!! Sorry DC-Rad. It's pretty embarassing when a librarian can't proof their posts.
