Public Computers

  • On June 5-6, the public computers will be temporarily unavailable.
  • As of June 7, we will have a reduced number of computers available for use at Central Library until Phase Two is completed in the fall.

During this time, we recommend visiting other Library locations if you need to use a computer for an extended period of time. 

Meeting Rooms

Once Phase Two construction begins:

  • The two small meeting rooms on the second floor will be unavailable.
  • The new meeting spaces on the first floor will open for public use.

Holds, Bookstore and New Books

During Phase Two, the Friends of the Arlington Public Library retail space, the New Books area, and the Holds Shelves will all be relocated.

Phase Two Includes

  • New multi-purpose technology and maker lab equipped with a tool and storage room, work benches, design areas and computer stations on the 2nd floor
  • Redesigned public PC stations
  • More
Second Floor: Maker Lab
Architect's rendering: 2nd Floor Maker Lab

The completion of Phase Two is currently set for early August 2018. Dates are subject to change based on construction schedules. We will update this information as soon as possible if there are any changes.

Please continue to check the Library website and app for more information.
