The Southwest Branch library closed for a few weeks back in September for a mini-makeover of the first floor. New carpets and book shelves were installed, walls were painted, and new Macs were provided for the teen space area. Above is a photo of the new carpets and shelving. Over the next few years, the library will receive an $8.8 million renovation to become a LEED-Silver rated facility. The ANC recently approved a resolution requesting that DDOT install a ramp in front of the library to better connect the building with the walkway that leads to the Southwest Duck Pond. The ramp installation would result in the loss of a couple of metered parking spaces on Wesley Place.

Does anyone really go to that library? I played chess there a few times and it was empty except for a few kids on the computers.
My son goes there regularly and thoroughly enjoys the story-time activities. It is a great resource to have in the neighborhood.
I'm there to get (and return) books. So I'm never in the building for very long at a stretch but I go fairly frequently. I agree with AvMax8, a great neighborhood resource.
Having this library was one of the deciding factors on my buying in the neighborhood, while the makeover is not that impressive, the fact that we have a library that is so stocked is great. All of arrested development? Masterpiece mysteries? Several copies of new ny times bestsellers? for FREE?! Some of us are in there several times a week.
