West End
Neighborhood Library

At the end of National Novel Writing Month, join us for a sneak peak a the library's new service for writers: The DC Writers Project. Local writers will be invited to submit their completed works of fiction to be considered for our OverDrive collection of electronic books. This is your chance to put your writing in front of the DC community - join the fun!

Coloring isn't just for kids. Get some midday relaxation by joining West End every Monday and Friday for Between the Lines, the coloring club for adults. Coloring sheets and coloring pencils provided.

These 20-to-30-minute story times are full of books, songs, rhymes and finger plays for children birth to 2 years old. Our Baby and Toddler Story Time is a great way to introduce your child to language skills in a positive and fun environment. With slightly more activity and movement than our lap times, children and their grownups are encouraged engage with the books and songs and to actively participate in the program.

Connect with poetry. Each week, we will read a short poem of the librarian's choosing, enjoy the poem's beauty and nuances, and then have a brief discussion on it. This program will go for one hour.
