But even without students it seems to be a well loved library- it's not overly packed but it is busy during the day. It seems to have a diverse group of ethnicities that come through seeing how they offer one-on-one tutoring and multiple books in different languages. Is a good library. Just avoid school dismissal time.

At first I was a bit worried since Googlemaps said parking was difficult around the area but…read morethere's a ramp right across the street which was nice on a rainy day. Since I was carrying my daughter it was a bit frustrating that the wave to open doors weren't working and the elevator to the second floor was being repaired but there were ample bathrooms and even an infant care/nursing room. The baby storytime was fun and I appreciated the casual open playtime afterwards especially since I got there a little late. Overall the librarian and other participants were friendly and respectful. Looking forward to attending more library events with my little one!

I came in March for a fun Women's History month celebration. I learned all about Hattie Sewell whom…read moremanaged the tea house in 1920. She was quite the businesswoman and she increased business dramatically. Unfortunately, Park managers decided not to renew her contract to run the tea house because neighbors complained about her just because she was a black woman. There are no known photographs of her. It only operated as a tea house until the mid-1930s, when it was turned back into a working grist mill. The event had park rangers giving speeches and lots of displays. There was a 20 minute movie to watch in the building nearby. They even had mini cupcakes and sodas for free for visitors. I'm glad I came to see this tiny bit of history in Rock Creek Park that is easy to get to (and park) from my house via Beach Drive.

No power or water at the lockhouse, so bring plenty of water and flashlights/lanterns. I spent my final night on the towpath here while bicycling from Cumberland to DC, and probably had the best night of sleep on the whole trip. The beds are wood frame, with rope to support the mattress. It's a lot more comfortable than you might think. Please note-there are no linens provided, and the mattresses are covered with vinyl sheets, so you'll either want a sleeping bag, or bring your own linens. There is a table in the sitting room with a guestbook that you can sign, as well as several books on the history of the lockhouse and the C&O Canal. There are cooking utensils and plates/glasses available, but the nearest water is 3 miles away at Swain's Lock, so I didn't use anything, just used the mess kit that I had been using the whole trip. But if you need to use them, they're there. There are also some games and toys from the time period. Jacks, checkers, and some others. This is a really peaceful place in a beautiful setting. I wish I'd had the time to spend another night here. Maybe another time...

Communication was unprofessional, and overall the experience did not meet the standards we expected.

Not nearly as important as some other markers, but still we need to remember where we came from…read more The marker reads: "Named for Secretary of War Russell A. Alger, the camp was established in May 1898 on a 1,400-acre farm called Woodburn Manor. Some 23,500 men trained here for service in the Spanish-American War. The large military population greatly affected the lives of the residents of the small communities of Falls Church and Dunn Loring. The camp was abandoned early in August 1898 after an epidemic of typhoid fever. The War Department began the sale of land in September 1898." It seems kind of silly to go to the trouble of marking a place that was abandoned and sold over a century ago. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_A._Alger.
