Thanks to a reader for passing on from DCPL:
The Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library, located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW, will be rebuilt.
The Library has selected the team of Gilbane and Perkins Eastman to design the building. The project is currently funded at $18.6 million.
The new library, which is still in the design phase, will be larger to accommodate expanded space for children, teens and adults.
Interim Library Service
The DC Public Library is in negotiations with the Department of General Services (DGS) and one or more entities regarding leasing space for the Cleveland Park Interim Library. Some people have been made aware that space located on the campus of the University of the District of Columbia is under consideration. As of this date, we have not signed a lease for this purpose. We are interested in securing space as near the current Cleveland Park Library as possible and this has proven to be a very difficult task. We wish we could be more specific however, we do not want to misinform anyone or jeopardize any negotiations underway. We hope to be able to make a public announcement and provide a schedule regarding the closing of the current library, the opening of the Interim Cleveland Park Library and etc., by mid-February 2016.
Historic Review Process
While the Cleveland Park Library is not an historic structure, it is located within the Cleveland Park Historic District. Given this, the design will need to be approved by the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board. In addition, because it is a public building, the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts also will review and approve the design.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
