Last night’s gathering of about 400 old and new friends in the Reston-Herndon area was so energizing as we joined more than 1500 groups around the US in celebrating John Lewis’s legacy. Let’s all carry it forward.

Reston Regional Library is a happening place! We loved the conversations on Monday while sharing postcards, coloring sheets, & bookmarks for #righttoreadday and #nationallibraryweek . What’s your favorite thing about your library?

I choose to resist allowing my country to grab people off the street, illegally take them out of state, and imprison them in a facility with no due process or just cause. #rumeysa #freerumeysaozturk
