Passport Welcome to the BPL Passport! Your library card is your passport to technology, literacy, fluency, community and so much more. To celebrate…

When I first read this I thought passports were coming to #DCPL 😬 like they have in Boston, such a great program.
But actual passport support is great too. 📚

www.bpl.org/passport/

Today's a good day to get another library card.
#dcpl

Transpo’d to a new to me public space in the Northeast Library. #DCPL has some of the best public spaces in the city. @transpobingo.bsky.social

Look at #DCPL trying to help us out with a Battling Burnout starter pack! Complete with audio so you can just lay there in the fetal position. Maybe skip Sheryl S but otherwise I’m here for it #Libraries

You will want to connect with the leadership team at DC Public Library #dcpubliclibrary #dcpl. I’m with DC Public Schools

All DC Public Libraries are expected to open at 10 a.m. on January 7. Please call ahead or follow DC Public Library on social media or via this website for any updates.

Looks like they'll be open. Phew! 👨‍🍼
#dcpl

Oh you had me at Linnaeus! I’ve asked my library #dcpl to buy it (why aren’t they on BlueSky??)

Squeee! My public library comes through! #dcpl #cher

Next up! Justice #Ketanji’s Lovely Ones

#BookSky #SCOTUS #goodreads #dcpl

I can't remember who told me to read ENTER THE BODY by Joy McCullough, but I can't thank you enough! I loved it as a fan of #Shakespeare; feminist #retellings; of plays, and reader/writer who loves books with unexpected formats. (I'm inspired!)🤩

Thanks, #libby and #dcpl for another great read!

Happy Add-Books-To-Libby-Holds-List Day to all who celebrate!

#DCPL #BookSky#DCPublicLibrary #LibbyApp

Just put in a request @ #dcpl (get on Bluesky soon!) for this…

DC Public Library, Shaw branch, 7:50 am, with queue of people outside waiting to vote. Library building is angular and made of light gray metal material, with glass windows. In foreground is intersection of Rhode Island and 7th NW, in background you can see light gray and blue morning sky to the northwest

Also: it’s Voting Day, motherf*ckers!

At Shaw library, 7th and Rhode Island NW, Washington DC. #dcpl

#vote2024

Neat! Wonder if my branch, Shaw, has some?? #dcpl
