History

The library was built as part of a collaborative project with the DC Public Schools (Walker-Jones Educational Center), Department of Parks and Recreation and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development.[2] The Northwest One development project produced a state‐of‐the‐art facility including a Preschool‐8th grade school, a public library and a technology center.[3]

The neighborhood had previously been served by a kiosk library until it was closed in 2008. The kiosk, a plexiglass and metal booth approximately 1,400 square feet in size, was built in the late 1970s. It was intended to last only seven years.[4]

gollark: It might be annoying to route around claims. But I think you could do it if they also had a block scanner (or a few did) or pickaxes.
gollark: With some Wojbie2-style setup to attain fire aspect books it would probably be possible to get more lasers than that, and the bot could also supervise the turtles so no human input is needed.
gollark: Assuming that that allows me to do one chunk per 15 seconds (linear speedup), it'd only take 130 days of turtle runtime.
gollark: If I spent a lot of krist on lasers I could plausibly get 128 or so, enough to cover half a chunk at once.
gollark: It'd take a year at optimal speeds. Probably more in practice since a player would need to be there to manage them.
