Parking at Aurora Hills Library will be extremely limited on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, due to the 9/11 25th Anniversary Ceremony taking place nearby at Fire Station 5 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Community members are invited to watch the program online or gather at several library locations and watch together.
The Arlington County Police Department will close South Hayes Street between 15th Street South and South Fern Street from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m to accommodate the event.
Arlington County is undertaking a project to address ongoing water intrusion issues in the Central Library parking garage and the library building itself. The project will include perimeter drainage improvements and plaza re-grading around the building, which will both protect the facility envelope and reduce existing tripping and fall hazards.
Central Library is undergoing maintenance to repair and upgrade the elevators, restrooms, roof and HVAC systems.
The library will remain accessible and operational throughout the projects. Our apologies for any inconvenience or disruption as we provide regularly scheduled maintenance for our building.
Please check back for updates.
