Hello there NW1 Community!

Make sure to stop in to Northwest One Neighborhood Library this month for storytime, games, computer classes, book clubs, and more!

Do you have children + teens in your life who need books for class or homework help? Remember, you can have any book in the DC Public Library system sent to Northwest One for pick up. Also, we have excellent databases available 24/7 and free online tutors from 2pm-12am through tutor.com. Ask about them next time you're in and check out www.dclibrary.org/research/databases.

Start getting excited for the Saturday October 2nd DC Loves to Read Day! There will be fun programs centered around books and reading all day at Northwest One (as well every single DC Public Library)! At Northwest One we will have refreshments, a poetry reading, a literary photo booth, graffiti wall, and more! Come dressed as your favorite book character! More information and materials to follow...

See you at the library!

 Tomorrow morning, July 23, from 9-12, the community is invited to stop by the Walker Jones Education Campus to see what is going on in the emerging student garden at the corner of K and New Jersey. Many volunteers have been hard at work developing this unused portion of campus before the students return from summer vacation, and would love your help and your input on this exciting project. Stay tuned for an organized schedule for community volunteers and harvest days come fall. In the meantime, watch our project grow by stopping by for a visit, or on our blog, or follow us on Twitter at wjfarm. Please address any questions to the community outreach director at the school, Frances Evangelista, at frances.evangelista@dc.gov. We hope to see you in the garden in the morning!
