Library Takeout

Join Words, Beats & Life on the Library's Facebook page for a live-streamed workshop on writing poetry about your personal identity. The first workshop session will be instructional, the second participatory (share what you learned and receive feedback). This is part of a special program series sponsored by Pepco, where teens can create entries for the Know Your Power a creative arts contest.

DC Public Library, in partnership with People and Stories/Gente y Cuentos: Reading Deeply in Community, invites you to participate in a program of reading and discussing short stories online.  Through oral readings and rigorous discussions of enduring short stories, participants find fresh understandings of themselves, of others and of the world.  We will meet via web conference on Wednesdays, noon – 1:30 p.m. The discussion will be facilitated by Janice Rosen, Librarian, Center for Accessibility, in American Sign Language and voice. 

DSLBD's Innovation and Equitable Development division is thrilled to partner with the Library on supporting small businesses looking to build their community and strengthen their customer relationships online! We've heard that during this public health emergency small business owners are looking to connect with and find their customers via social media now more than ever before.
