40. W H I T I N G - T U R N E R A N D Q U I N N E V A N S A R C H I T E C T S
Why go to other libraries ?
“it simply isn’t as inviting or clean as the
others, particularly as Cleveland Park - the
nicest I have seen in DC”
“those libraries are bigger, airier, and have
a better selection of books and better
children’s area”
“we drive to the Northeast library often
even though South East Library is a very
short walk from our house”
“Northeast is beautiful, big, well
designed.”
“Northeast meeting rooms, study rooms,
pleasant children’s department”
“wonderful children’s section, full of spaces
to sit, read, play, and do crafts”
“Northeast branch has Many Books. I enjoy
browsing in its stacks. Also it is cleaner and
has fewer homeless and its computer users
are monitored. Much safer library for
children.”
“Safer and more pleasant.”
“group that meets at the NE library due to
meeting rooms ”
“North East library has a whole floor
separate from the adult section for children
which feels much more safe and welcoming
for our family”
