“This is definitely an exciting program that spotlights a great community effort,” Melanie Townsend Diggs, Pennsylvania Avenue Branch manager, said in a release. “We hope patrons will visit the branch walk out with more than a book. But they leave the library with the current best-seller and bags of vegetables, fruits and much more. We take pride in this area. We are hoping the unrest from last year doesn’t define it and we are working with neighborhood leaders and other amazing partners to make sure we continue to make this community flourish.”
