context_page_description: The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library is the central facility of the District of Columbia Public Library. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the 400,000 square foot steel, brick, and glass structure, and it is a rare example of modern architecture in Washington, D.C. It is currently closed for renovations.
context_section_description: In July 2013 the DC Public Library opened an 11,000-square-foot Digital Commons in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The new facility includes a 3-D printer, an Espresso Book Machine, and rows of computers. The Digital Commons also includes a "Dream Lab" composed of meeting spaces and cubicles with devices for collaborative work. The Library Systems hopes to attract startup companies and community organizations without permanent offices to use wireless Internet, DVD players, projectors, and Smart Boards.
