The Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library is a branch of the District of Columbia Public Library in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is located at 3310 Connecticut Avenue NW.[1] A library building opened on the site in 1953[2] and was replaced in 2018 by a larger facility that was built at a cost of $19.7 million.[3] The new library's design garnered praise and plaudits; DCist described it as "strikingly stylish"[4] and it won the 2019 Urban Catalyst award from the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects.[5]
