“The Petworth Library, 4200 Kansas Ave. NW, reopened to the public Sunday, August 23, after a nine-month renovation carried out by DC Public Library with Moya Design Partners (MOYA) as interior architect and Chiaramonte Construction Company as general contractor. The renovation creates a brighter, more comfortable building designed around how people use the library today.

Stay tuned.
