New Library App Arrives in May!

Spring brings playspaces and tool lending!

Post Published: April 4, 2023

Curated Arlingtown playspaces for little learners are now open at all libraries!

Arlingtown is a fun space where families and caregivers with young children can spend time learning and building connections.  With an intentional selection of toys, prompts, signs and books now available at all library locations, parents and caregivers can engage with children in the five early literacy practices: talking, writing, reading, playing and singing.

Kids can engage in pretend play while parents and caregivers can explore early literacy tips for children ages 0 to 5, which will help children enter school ready to learn.

View each location's hours and plan your visit to Arlingtown!

The Shed garden tool lending library is back for your Spring projects! 

Various garden tools hang against the wall of a shed, including rakes, cultivators, shovels, and more

Want to start gardening, but don't have the right tools? Ready to tackle a big yard project and need an unusual tool? The Library can help!

Visit The Shed—our garden tool lending library—open Mondays and Wednesdays 5 p.m.-7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

The Shed is located at Central Library and open to all Arlington residents and property owners age 18+ with a library card.

Learn more and explore the garden tool lineup.
