Celebrate the life of children's book author Maurice Sendak (June 10, 1928-May 8, 2012), best known for Where the Wild Things Are, by checking out your favorite children's book written by the author.

The Children's Room is located on the library's lower level.

Are you a D.C. young professional between 21 and 35? Do you like discussing books and drinking beer—preferably at the same time?

Come to the Young Prose Book Group, a casual and friendly gathering sponsored by the Georgetown and Tenley branches of the DC Public Library that meets the last Wednesday of each month. We meet at 7 p.m. at Public Bar, 4615 41st St. NW.

Our May selection is Gang Leader for a Day: a Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets by Sudhir Venkatesh. The findings from Gang Leader for a Day inspired parts of the bestseller Freakonomics. It is the account of a naive grad student and his experiences with street gangs in Chicago. We will meet on Thursday, May 24th at 7 p.m. Registration is not required, and extra copies of the book are available for check-out at the library near the circulation desk.

The Friends of the Georgetown Library proudly present their Spring Book Sale at the Georgetown Library (corner of Wisconsin and R. St. NW) on Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room.  Special features will include a large selection of children's books, fiction, non-fiction, history and rare books. In addition, there will be lots of DVDs and CDs as well as foreign language books. Of particular interest, there will be a collection of renowned artist Robin Hill's rare books on Australian natural history and exploration. The Friends of the Georgetown Library look forward to seeing you there!
