The Southwest Neighborhood Library is a branch of the District of Columbia Public Library in the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is located at 900 Wesley Place SW. The library first opened in 1941 inside Thomas Jefferson Memorial Junior High School, a Georgian Revival-style building designed by architect Nathan C. Wyeth. A new library building opened in 1965 and was scheduled to close in mid-2019, with a new $18 million building to be constructed in its place. During construction, interim library service will be provided at 425 M Street SW.
