The outdoor space is a bonus feature of this D.C. public library.

Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library is just two blocks from the Cleveland Park Station on the Red Line. After taking its turn in the renovation cycle, it reopened in 2018, seeking LEED Gold Certification. The modern and eco-friendly library stands apart with its aesthetically pleasing design and ample green space for kids to enjoy. It puts on the storytime series, as well as Zumba, chess, yoga, and music classes. Superhero-themed events, quiet homework time and foreign language storytimes are also included in the roster.

The Tregaron Conservancy Trails are a short walk away from the library if a short hike suits your family. The Smithsonian National Zoo is also closeby for some outdoor entertainment before or after an hour at the library. Delicious bites are available at Bread Furst (up Connecticut) and 2 Amy's (west on Macomb Street), both just under a mile away.

Randi (Betts) Banks grew up in New York and graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. She moved to Washington, D.C. more than thirteen years ago with her husband, Eaghmon, and they love to explore the area and seek out adventure, now with their two young children along for the ride. Growing up right near the beach, they are happiest when on or near the water, so exploring the rivers, lakes, and streams in the greater DC area is a favorite pastime for their family. In addition to serving as one of the Washington, DC area ambassadors, Randi is also the Editor in Chief and Co-founder of happyly.
