Phase Two News
Behind the scenes on the second floor, work has begun on our new multi-purpose technology and maker lab, as well as redesigned public PC stations.
First Floor Update
The Friends Books Store is now open for business. Look for news about a Grand Opening Celebration coming soon from the Friends of the Arlington Public Library.
Second Floor Update
The old Ask-A-Librarian desk has been removed, and we are currently offering reference services from a temporary desk at the top of the stairs (next to the audiobooks). The old desk has been relocated to its new home at the Columbia Pike Branch Library.
A temporary Computer Help Desk is now located in the temporary public computer area, where the Ask-A-Librarian desk used to be.
During Phase Two, we continue to 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.
A question: Is OCR software available on any public computer in the system?
Is Adobe to Microsoft Word available?
Gretchen,
We do have Microsoft Word on all of our public computers. You can find a complete list of software, hardware and accessibility assistance on our Computers for Public Use page.
