The Deanwood Neighborhood Library is a branch of the District of Columbia Public Library in the Deanwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is located at 1350 49th Street NE, [1] within a community center that opened in July 2010 at a cost of $32 million [2] [3] and also includes a swimming pool, a gym, and facilities for child care and seniors. [4] [5]
Construction on the 63,000-square-foot facility began in December 2008. [6] The library, which occupies 7,500 square feet of the space, has room for 25,000 books. [3] It was designed by Perkins Eastman. [7]
Deanwood, one of the city's most historic African American neighborhoods, was previously served by a library kiosk that opened in 1976. [8] The one-room, 120-square-foot structure held a few thousand books but lacked basic services like running water. [9] Though it has not been operational since 2008, the remains of the kiosk can be seen at 4215 Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE. [10] [11]
