We looked at some renderings of other libraries last week. A reader sends news of a meeting Monday night at 6:30pm. The reader writes:

“Monday, May 4, 2009, DC Public Library leadership will be presenting the latest design iterations (still a work in progress) and open a broad discussion about many issues surrounding the Ward One Library project in Mount Pleasant. The Mount Pleasant Library is the only library serving all of Ward One.

The Ward One Library Coalition encourages all to attend to make sure you are kept involved in this project and that your voice is heard. For most of the design phase, DCPL has not involved the community, ANC Commissioners, and other residents in the design process.

* More recently, they are opening up the dialog with due pressure from the people. DCPL finally put up design images on their website today >>

Let’s continue to make sure we have see our government agencies respond directly to our concerns and collaboratively work on such important civic projects as central as our library. Please help let others know.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
