The District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) is the public library system for Washington, D.C.. The system includes 26 individual libraries including Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, DCPL's central library. The library was founded in 1896 by an act of Congress after a lobbying effort by Theodore W. Noyes, editor of the Washington Evening Star newspaper. Noyes served on the library's board of trustees for 50 years. The first library branch was located in a home at 1326 New York Avenue NW, with a collection of 15,000 donated books and an appropriation of $6,720 for its maintenance. More information...
