Arlington Public Library - Shirlington Branch

Spacious well-stocked library which is great for families and young children! They even have movie nights here! Plentiful parking and helpful staff , why go elsewhere?

Sometimes gets a little loud with ppl on cell phones. I've had to ask ppl to step outside. It can sometimes get crowded so it's good to come early and stake your claim.

You can get a library card here even if you have an Alexandria address.

Kind of loud here. Kids running around. Small library . Kids have a play area next to the study area . Makes no sense. They did extend library hours I believe.

Extended hours start July 5! Will be open until 9 pm on Sundays.

Closing at 5 on Saturdays and a very limited number of tables means that this place falls behind Busboys or bear rock as a place to get some work done.

Meet me at the library for Live Jazz every Thursday this month. =)

See photo with summer hours (started 7/5/11).

GREAT place to relax and read.

sit in the comfy chairs and use the free wifi . Grab lunch at Busboys and Poets.

closed on Thursdays
