The District of Columbia Public Library is moving forward with major renovations of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, while designs for a new facility have been tabled — for now.
Improvements to the outdated and long-neglected MLK Library in Mount Vernon Square address pressing needs, said Monica Lewis, library spokeswoman. The library system is expected to spend more than $2 million revamping the restrooms, replacing more than 1,000 ceiling lamps, modernizing three elevators, constructing a 1,800-square-foot, 38-seat technology training lab, and replacing all staff and customer computers.
