Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Library

The Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Library is a branch of the District of Columbia Public Library in the Tenleytown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Located at 4450 Wisconsin Avenue NW, it services the neighborhoods of Tenleytown and Friendship Heights. A public library branch first opened in the ar

ea in 1926, and a library at the current site opened in 1960. A redesigned library branch was built at a cost of $18 million and opened in 2011. The Washington Post described the new library building, which featured a green roof and other sustainable-design features, as "one of the best things for D.C. in decades", though it experienced years of problems with a leaky roof.
