On Wednesday (8/12) and Thursday (8/13), Brick & Story partnered with DC Public Library to gather input for the design of the new Deanwood Library by hosting two community pop-up events at Lederer Gardens and the Deanwood Community Center!

We spoke with neighbors from across the community and invited participants to complete a quick survey to share their vision for the upcoming stand-alone library. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to weigh in and help shape the future of this new neighborhood space!

The park sits right across the street from the new Piney Branch Road Station Purplelinemd (Langley Park/Silver Spring) and its renovation will make sure it
stays a safe, welcoming recreational space for community members of all ages for years to come.

This year’s theme, “35 Years of Making HOMES,” invited us to reflect on 35 years of creating affordable homes and the regional collaboration needed to continue strengthening communities across our area.
