Happy 100th birthday to the Mt Pleasant library! Founded in 1925, it is one of only 3 Carnegie libraries that are part of the DC Public library system.
Located in the diverse Mount Pleasant neighborhood, this public library includes one of DC’s largest collections of graphic novels and Spanish-language literature.
In honor of 100 years, we collaborated with a local Mt. Pleasant artist on this limited edition ringer t-shirt!
This lovely t-shirt is available at the link in our Bio as well as Saturdays at the Mt Pleasant farmers market where we table from 11am-1pm!

*All sales from our merch and book sales go directly to programming at our branch as well as other programs.

**Our Online Store is the ONLY place to buy our merch online, accept no substitutes or imitations as they do not support the public library!
