Washington Park Library–Still Not Open

11PM ON 20/08/2008
BY Matthew Lawrence

If you’re reading this and it’s before 10 AM and you’re not at work or otherwise occupied–a longshot, I know–you should head down to the Washington Park Library (1316 Broad Street), where some community members are staging a rally to get the branch opened again.  I posted about the ridiculous situation at Washington Park last month, and it seems like nothing’s changing…

The rally’s being organized by Open Table of Christ, one of several churches in the neighborhood that have been struggling (for two and a half years, now) to see their library reopened.

(And I promise to mention things like this a little more punctually from now on.)
