<p>The event was publicized on Twitter by <a href="https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/1127273837085831168">Cook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MurielBowser/status/1127214128593080320">Bowser</a>, the latter of whom shared a video of some of the first shoppers entering the store. The pair were joined by a media pool and some of the store’s staff, who cheered and clapped to drum up excitement. Sizable crowds were in attendance.</p>
<p>Further photos were published <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deirdre.at.apple/">on Instagram</a> by O’Brien.</p>
<p>Development on Apple Carnegie Library began in 2016. Apple <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/05/09/apple-shares-first-official-photos-of-carnegie-library-store-in-dc">calls it</a> its “most extensive historic restoration project to date,” requiring lengthy work on facades and details. Running with the theme of the building — and possibly trying to counter controversy over the relocation of the Library’s book collection — the store will be hosting a “StoryMakers Festival” series of events between May 18 and June 29, featuring 40 artists.</p>
