Cherrydale patrons picked up some special “gifts” this holiday season… Surprise Library Books!

Of course, these gifts have to be returned after three weeks… but then they can be exchanged for something new and wonderful:

Despite knowing they’d have to be returned, these special gifts were met with excitement and the anticipation that only a gift can bring. And the Cherrydale Branch Librarians had a lot of fun wrapping them up.

We know that the gift of literature never gets old, and with well over half a million items to choose from in the Arlington Public Library, we are certain that everybody can find something that they love.

Did you get one of our wrapped presents? Let us know what you thought of your literary surprise!
