Capitol View Neighborhood Library is part of the District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) System. It was opened to the public on January 23, 1965 after 10 years of advocacy by the Capitol View community.
History
The Reverend Sister Patsy Allen, President of the Marshall Heights Civic Association petitioned the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1963 to provide funds for a public library. Her request stated that "every moment delayed serves to undermine the educational structure of our children and adults as well.
