Mt. Pleasant Library Community Input Summary

Beginning in March 2008, the library conducted community outreach to gain input into what residents would like to see in their new library.

Outreach was done with residents of Mt. Pleasant, Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan. The library held community meetings, administered surveys, held one-on-one conversations, had meetings with community organizations and schools, and conducted focus groups. View the results.

Other Community Involvement

Early on, community representatives were invited to serve on the architect selection panel.  The ANC Commissioner and the President of the Friends of Mt. Pleasant Library helped select the firm.
