This document summarizes a community meeting about renovating the Lamond-Riggs Neighborhood Library in Washington D.C. It provided an agenda and timeline for the project, introduced the design and construction teams, discussed the role of libraries historically and today, and solicited early community feedback. Community members expressed a desire for more lounge space, computer classes, children's areas, and meeting spaces. The project is scheduled to begin design in late 2018 with an interim space in early 2020 and completion in late 2021.

4. 12 Years After the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Libraries,
12 Lessons Learned
1. Cookie cutters are great… for baking cookies
2. A great library’s most important attribute? Its location
3. Natural light is essential – but be mindful of direct sunlight
4. Teens have a lot going on in their lives
5. Libraries should not be warehouses
6. New and renovated basement spaces are still basements
7. With better sightlines comes better security
8. Community rooms designed to fit up to 100 people don’t really fit 100 people
9. Staff don’t grow on trees
10. Buildings don’t take care of themselves
11. Aesthetics, of course; But functionality above all
12. When you’re done with all your scheduled community meetings, schedule a community
meeting

5. What We’ve Heard So Far…
1. “lounge space with comfy chairs”
2. “computer classes”
3. “bigger space for children and babies”
4. “more meeting spaces”
