The Woodridge Neighborhood Library is a branch of the District of Columbia Public Library in the Woodridge neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is located at 1801 Hamlin Street NE.[1][2] A small sub-branch library at 2206 Rhode Island Ave NE served the neighborhood starting in 1929, and a full-fledged library branch opened at the current site in 1958.[3][4][5][6] It was replaced in 2016 by a new, 20,000-square-foot library built at a cost of $16.5 million, after nearly three years of construction. The new building was designed by Wiencek & Associates and Bing Thom Architects.[7][8][9]
The new library's roof terrace is the first of its kind in the city.[8] It is used for library and community programming, including concerts hosted by the DC Punk Archive.[2]
