As expected, Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie has introduced a bill to “symbolically” rename the Lamond-Riggs Library the “Lillian J. Huff Lamond-Riggs Public Library.” Silas Grant, Senior Advisor to Councilmember McDuffie, noted during the February 2022 meeting of the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) that Councilmember McDuffie planned to introduce the bill in March.

Lillian Huff was a longtime Riggs Park resident and activist. She played a critical role in getting the neighborhood library built in 1983. Councilmembers Mary Cheh, Trayon White, Janeese Lewis George, and Brianne Nadeau joined Councilmember McDuffie in introducing the bill.

On January 26, 2022, ANC 5A voted to send a letter to DC Public Library in support of renaming the library after Ms. Huff. On February 28, 2022, ANC 4B voted in support of renaming the library after Ms. Huff.
