Rally at the Anancostia Public Library
Thursday, September 7, 2006
5:00pm to 7:30pm

We were rained out last week, but we won't be deterred by the weather 
this week so we can standup and demand that Anacostia Library be 
reopened NOW!

Anacostia Library History >>
http://www.dclibrary.org/branches/ana/history.html

As long as it is closed, City leadership should realize the educational 
outcomes of our young citizens will be jeopardized and the opportunity 
for our adults to get accessible GED, literacy training, and career 
empowerment is dramatically limited.

TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG!!

Come on out to rally for the immediate reopening of Anacostia Library 
and bring your friends and children...

* Keynote speakers
* Children's activities and reading-time
* Food and beverages will be served
* Open mic for ALL - step up to the podium and speak!


WHERE:
Anacostia Public Library
1800 Good Hope Road, SE (18th & Good Hope)
(the 92 bus stops directly in front of the library)

WHEN:
Thursday, August, 31, 5:00 to 7:30pm
