Taking Library to the Street - Washington, DC

A public library in the District of Columbia operates a summertime "street corner" library. Here is how Adult Librarian Elisa describes it: "We sit underneath the library's overhang close to the street corner, with some of our fiction and A-V materials from our division, and attract passerby to sign up for a DC library card. We're doing this until September. Everyone has a shift so we take turns going outside. If the weather isn't so great or we don't have enough staff that day, we won't do it."
