A Heart Crushing Little Free Library Find (Vol. 12)

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was a bit puzzled as to why they’d be there, then it dawned on me that these were the government badge holders for someone who had been let go during The Purge.

Sad comment on the state of government employment in DC these days.”

If you should find something of note/unusual in a little free library, please snap a photo and send it to my email at [email protected] and please let me know what neighborhood it’s from. Thanks! Look what I found in a Little Free Library is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

Adams Morgan Streatery Pilot Program Suspended!?!

It sounds like that means the current streateries stay in place, but any modifications a business wants to make (including for heating etc) can’t happen for the foreseeable future. (more…)
