Mayor Bowser proposed turning libraries into housing units? What’s the deal here @MayorBowser @dcpl ?

[Mary Alice Levine @DCMaryAlice]

After reminding @dcpl Board of Trustees that she appointed them, @MayorBowser tells trustees that she wants housing in #libraries throughout DC. @MayorBowser will be identifying branches. More land giveaways for developers.

@dcpl respects and welcomes the homeless.

@meadowlark_22 @atrueblood @wmata @MayorBowser @OPinDC @DCDHCD @councilofdc The #homeless at the Metro wanted the Library built. They was no place for them to go when the Library was closed for eight years while developers & pols fought for its land. Homeless never had a prayer of getting into any of #Tenleytown's luxury housing. Not then
Not now.

[TenleyLibraryFriends @TenleyFriends]

And why weren't the Friends of Tenley Library invited on this walk? #tenleytown. That would be 265 people who would speak for the library.
Our numbers are growing.

#DCPL: Tenley Library needs a new roof!

[bill rice @ricebilldc]

At @dcpl’s meeting on master facilities plan at @Tenleytown_DC Library, Dir. @RReyesGavilan begins w q: how can libraries be good stewards of $1/2 billion in new facilities. #dclibraryfuture

[Robin Diener @RobineoftheHood]

Prioritize maintenance.

[Mary Alice Levine @DCMaryAlice]

@ricebilldc @dcpl @Tenleytown_DC @RReyesGavilan At Tenley Library, we need windows and light. Let's finally insert windows into the west side of the building....and put up some outside lights so the streetscape is not so dark at night. #Tenleytown #DCPL #dclibraryfuture

[MLK Library Friends @FriendsMLKLibry]

Library oversight hearing, chaired by @cmdgrosso @DCPL gets high praise from parents who urge more staff, more kids programming & adult literacy programs, and early phonics books.

[TenleyLibraryFriends @TenleyFriends]

Sounds great!

[Mary Alice Levine @DCMaryAlice]

For starters ,#DCPL can extend the elevator shaft to the third floor of the Tenley Library so unused space can be accessed -- perhaps another conference room, more staff offices, stacks, storage. . #Tenleytown
