COVID-19 Library Status

What is the Disinfectant Process for Library Materials?

Library materials will be set aside for 72 hours before being processed. Library staff will practice appropriate safety procedures as laid out by County health officials and may adjust procedures based on the latest research and guidance.

You may choose to set aside library materials for 72 hours after you receive them.

I Have a Condition That Prevents me from Standing in Line. How Can I Get my Holds?

Accessibility pickup is available for patrons with a physical accessibility issue that prevents them from using our normal holds-only service model.

If you are in need of accessibility accommodation, you can schedule your holds pickup by calling the Library at 703-228-5990.

What Library Services are Currently Available?

  • Holds pickup: In the Central Library Auditorium.
  • Basic account services: Sign up for a library card, renew library cards, update temporary library cards, and update mailing addresses.
  • Returns: at all Library locations except for Columbia Pike, in the book returns.

Is the Library Open? When will the Library Fully Reopen?

Central Library is currently open for holds pickup and account services, and all Branch Library book drops, except Columbia Pike, are open for returns. It is not currently possible to safely open the Library for business as usual.

Our virtual services continue to expand, and many scenarios are being considered as we look into fall and winter.
