Join DC Public Library users and staff for coffee, conversation and sometimes even a craft on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.
Coffee & Conversation brings together users from all walks of life in informal conversation focused on relevant and engaging topics discussed over a cup of coffee. Through this exchange of ideas, Coffee & Conversation promotes the library as a place to meet your neighbors and focuses on what people have in common rather than their differences. Please join us.
