West End
Neighborhood Library

In partnership with MPD and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, West End Library will host “Bully Free” a special program for kindergartners to third graders, which teaches a "bully free" lifestyle and encourages tolerance, kindness and bully free behavior. Students will also learn positive bystander behavior as well as types of bullying and how to deal with bullies.
 
Recommended for ages 6-9. 
 

Please join us for a special reading of literary odds and ends to be held at the branch on Saturday, June 15, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., to celebrate reading, books, and readers and help kick off the system-wide Summer Reading Program. 

We'll take turns reading a short poem or a short excerpt from a poem, a novel, a short story, an essay, a speech, a letter, or a play--aloud from the floor, every hour on the hour (for just a minute or two). 

The West End Book Club will meet Tuesday, May 28, at 12:30 p.m. in the small meeting room on the second floor to discuss Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. 

The West End Neighborhood Library is conveniently located within 10 walking minutes from the Foggy Bottom Metro. According to smartphone app Accupedo, you are expected to take roughly 535 steps, achieve a walking speed of 2 mph, travel 0.25 miles, and burn 19 calories all in the process!
