The Georgetown Neighborhood Library is one of the 26 locations belonging to the District of Columbia Public Library, and since its debut in 1935, it continues to serve as the “pride of the community” in the Georgetown area. Erected on the Georgetown National Register Historic District, the library features the only local history archive in town in its Peabody Room, eponymous with George Peabody, a 19th-century businessman who had gathered and cataloged materials decades before the library’s founding. After a damaging fire in 2007, the library underwent a substantial renovation that both retains its original lineaments and adds thereto children’s and teens’ spaces. Now, the 87-year-long library connects the past and present of the Georgetown neighborhood and presents them to locals and visitors alike.

With a mission to engage with residents in the Georgetown community and the greater Washington area, the St. John’s Episcopal Church traces its history back to 1796, when a foundation was laid for a two-story building, and less than a decade later, the first structure at St. John neared completion. In recent years, Georgetown’s St. John Church has renovated many of its historic functions and added modern spaces, including a new preschool on the second floor. Just as its physical cornerstone has remained intact for more than two centuries, St. John emphasizes the interaction between religion and the secular community, providing all kinds of services to visitors with help from a substantial horde of volunteers. As a local church, St. John’s regularly hosts events for Christians and non-Christians alike, bringing to the Georgetown riverfront a sense of togetherness and mutual support.
