A story time experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers. These 20-to-30-minute story times introduce books, songs, rhymes, tickles and bounces developmentally appropriate for children ages birth to when they start walking. Baby Lap Time is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joys of reading in a positive and fun atmosphere. This story time is designed so the baby will be in their caregiver’s lap and the grownup is actively involved in the program; it is recommended that each child have their own adult with them.
Join us for songs, books and more.
This program is recommended for children 12-24 months.
Registration required. Visit the library or call 202- 282-0021 to sign up.

Even those of you who may question the existence of atoms live by the laws of science. The laws of science apply universally, even in fiction. Some literary worlds use those laws to solve mysteries, explore individual lives, or test scientific limits. Others use them to speculate what might have been or may be. Let’s leave the “What If?” questions for another day--here are some books that incorporate scientific knowledge without falling into science fiction.
I'm pretty new to the world of adult graphic novels. In all honesty,until late 2015 I hadn't read a graphic novel since I was a kid reading Archie. But a couple of fellow DC Public Library staff members turned me on to some really great series that appeal to the urban fantasy reader in me. So if you've shied away from graphic novels because you think they are for kids, these may just be the entry you need into a whole new and exciting area of reading.
The March selection for the Chevy Chase Library's Book Club is The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht.

Okay, so we heard a rumor that the YA fantasy bestseller City of Bones is largely repurposed Harry Potter fanfiction. This rumor is very, very difficult to verify (at least to the satisfaction of a librarian) but it's enough for us to choose it as our January selection.
