ALERT: Update on Maintenance and Upgrades at Central Library

Post Published: June 23, 2025

Central Library is undergoing maintenance to repair and upgrade the roof, HVAC systems, elevators and restrooms.

Current Work (subject to change):

  • Interior work to staff restrooms is scheduled for the week of June 23. Patrons can expect noise disruption. Construction workers will use the public elevators to remove debris. Public restrooms will remain open.
  • Work on the roof, which could cause noise disruption, is scheduled to continue for the next several weeks.
  • The smaller surface parking lot directly off Quincy Street is partially open.

The entire project is anticipated to last through Spring 2026. The library will remain accessible and operational throughout the project.

Our apologies for any inconvenience or disruption as we provide regularly scheduled maintenance to our building.

Please check back for updates.

Online resource guide

A rectangular graphic featuring the purple Brainfuse JobNow logo on a white background. A stylized figure carrying a briefcase appears in a circle to the left, stepping up bars that represent career growth. To the right, the text reads ‘brainfuse JobNow’ with the tagline ‘free career assistance and so much more.’ Behind it is a blurred office setting with chairs and a conference table.

For those impacted by federal workforce actions, our librarians have assembled an online guide to services and programs that features career development resources, library and Arlington County programs and mental health support.

Check back for updates as we continue to add to these offerings.

Know Your Rights: The library is here to help.

Post Published: February 7, 2025

Public libraries are trusted sources for accurate and well-researched information. Libraries have a long history of providing free resources and education to immigrants and refugees. Arlington Public Library is committed to educating the community about individual rights and providing relevant resources when you need them most.

Immigrants have rights. Regardless of your immigration status, you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has information about your rights as an immigrant, and how to express them. United We Dream provides information about what to do if you have an encounter with an immigration officer.

Arlington County has a commitment to strengthening trust with the immigrant community. Additional resources for immigrants can be found on the County’s website.

There are many resources to learn about your rights, as well as information about the official path to citizenship.

  • Arlington Human Rights Commission and Complaint Forms
  • Immigration Resources for Families (APS)
  • National Immigration Law Center
  • American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
  • Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC)
  • Family Preparedness Plan
  • United We Dream
  • United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
  • DACA – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

The library has compiled additional free legal and social services resources for immigrants that can be found on the library’s website as well as eCollections for Immigrants, Refugees, and New Citizens.

In addition, Arlington Public Library is committed to protecting the privacy of all information about patron requests for service, materials, loan transactions, online sites and resources accessed.

Confidentiality of customer records is protected under state law: Virginia Code § 2.2-3705.7. The Library will comply with all proper judicial process (government order to produce documents or information) authenticated by the County Attorney, while preserving customer confidentiality to the extent allowed by law. Additional details about the library’s privacy policy are on our website.

The American Library Association details the relationship between libraries and immigration enforcement.

Please stay tuned for updates.
