Save The Anacostia Library
"This Thursday we will finally rally at the Anacostia Library rain or shine. Your help in outreach is important. Please send this announcement to your friends and any contacts you may have at community based organizations.
"Rally at he Anancostia Public Library. We were rained out last week, but we won't be deterred by the weather this week so we can standup and demand that Anacostia Library be reopened NOW! As long as it is closed, City leadership should realize the educational outcomes of our young citizens will be jeopardized and the opportunity for our adults to get accessible GED, literacy training, and career empowerment is dramatically limited.
"TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG!! Come on out to rally for the immediate reopening of Anacostia Library and bring your friends and children...
* Keynote speakers * Children's activities and reading-time * Food and beverages will be served * Open mic for ALL - step up to the podium and speak!
When: Thursday, September 7, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Where: Anacostia Public Library (1800 Good Hope Road SE; the 92 bus stops directly in front of the library)
Volunteer: We are looking for organizing assistance as well. Can you help spread the word by email, flyer? Can you help read books to kids or do you have a car? Contact Robin Diener at 202/387-8030
