The Washington Post has a lovely article on the renaming of the neighborhood library in honor of Lillian Huff. The rebuilt neighborhood library is now known as the Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Library. Ms. Huff was a longtime Ward 5 resident in the Riggs Park neighborhood and was active in neighborhood life as well as in local DC politics. She is largely credited with getting the first library built in the neighborhood in 1983. The article nicely captures the reflections of Ms. Huff’s family as they recount her significance to her family and community.

I have said it before and I will keep saying it. It would be great to have a marker outside of the library with information about Ms. Huff as well as the Bryant brothers, the architects of the first Lamond-Riggs neighborhood library. People passing by the new library should be able to readily read about the contributions of these individuals and understand the history of the library. Seems simple enough.
