Bing Thom architect taking the community through the thought process for the new #WoodridgeDC library http://pic.twitter.com/2bV9pbUh- Architects want to close Hamlin St NE in front of the #WoodridgeDC library, create a public plaza, & move busstop directly in front

- Demolition would begin next summer and the new library would be open in 2014. #WoodridgeDC
- Question about library hours. Head Librarian gets fired up to advocate for longer library hrs (& not unfunded bills) #WoodridgeDC
