Central Library Upgrade: July Update

Published: July 1, 2018

New 1st Floor Meeting Rooms Open

The alcove seating area, Holds and New Books are now available. And the new Friends of the Arlington Public Library retail space will be opening soon.

Phase Two

The bulk of construction has moved to the second floor, while we continue putting finishing touches on the first floor.

Phase Two includes construction of a new public computer use area, new maker space, as well as new seating, shelving and signage.

Meeting Rooms

New meeting spaces on the first floor - the Glebe Room and the Wilson Room - are now open for public use.

The two small meeting rooms on the second floor - the Carlin Springs Room and the Little Falls Room - and part of the seating area on the second floor are currently unavailable.

Public Computers

Until Phase Two is complete in the fall, we will offer a reduced number of public computers at Central Library.

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