Southeast's new library breaking ground

Southeast D.C.’s fancy new Francis A. Gregory Library is set to break ground on Wednesday and when complete, will be a huge upgrade from its dilapidated predecessor.

Plans for the bigger, badder library include space for 80,000 books, DVDs and other library materials; separate reading areas for adults, teens and children, 32 public computers with free Wi-Fi access; a program room fitting up to 100 people and two conference rooms.
