June 15th – SAVE THE DATE, next mapathon at MLK Library

At the mapathon, we’ll spend the evening entering passages from fiction set in D.C. into the new tool. We’ll have a cart of pre-selected books (Fellow Travelers by Thomas Mallon, pretty much everything by George Pelecanos, Silenced by Kia Dupree, The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengestu, just to name a handful) or you’re welcome to bring your own.
