Staff are helpful and conscientious. Has good book sales. Clean bathrooms. Pleasant experience. We called ahead about a special collection. Staff was very informative and he pulled the book for us ahead of our visit. It made our visit very smooth and effective. Could use some handicapped parking spaces than just one spot with 2 hours limit. The parking garage is a bit far for a handicapped person.

Talkative, rude librarians who harass patrons at will.

I went for the first time, but certainly not my last time, recently and I was very pleased. It's small, but clean and welcoming. The library staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and made some great book recommendations. I look forward to visiting regularly

Questions & Answers

Is there any parking other than on-the-street?

Unfortunately no. The neighborhood & surrounding businesses will not share any of the parking lots in the area. The library staff also have to move their vehicles every 2-3 hours.

Is there event for kids under 5 years old? (Like story time )

Yes, especially in the summertime. Check the website or at the library for details.

Just got new passports. But moved to Alexandria last month. How do we change address?

US passport? You don't change the address. Passport is proof of identity, not address.

When can we bring books for sale?

From library website: Make a Donation Donated items are reviewed, and a small percentage of donations are added to the Library’s circulating collection. The majority of donated materials are sold in book sales, sponsored by The Friends of the Library, which raise funds to enhance Library services. Donating used books and media is a wonderful way to support the Library.   Donated materials can be dropped off to any of the four Library buildings during regular hours, though it is extremely helpful for patrons to call a certain Library branch ahead of time with information on the materials, the amount of the materials, and the estimated time of the drop off. It also may be possible that a particular Library branch is currently not taking donations. Materials damaged by bugs, mold or smoke, or materials left outside the building will be recycled or thrown away.   Patrons wishing to donate 10 or more boxes must first call the library branch to make special arrangements.
