With eight locations across Arlington, Virginia, Arlington Public Library is the heart of a thoughtful, inclusive and dynamic community where people and ideas connect.

We champion the power of stories, information and ideas. We create space for culture and connection. We embrace inclusion and diverse points of view.

Arlington Public Library promises to:

• Inspire and quench your thirst to know.
• Encourage you to ask why and why not?
• Embrace inclusion and diverse points of view.
• Be a wellspring for ideas, for conversation, for disagreement, for enlightenment.
• Create opportunities for an increased understanding: of our world, of our community and of each other.
• We will do all of this with good will, humor and kindness. Through books and community programs. Within our walls and outside in the community.

Always free, always open.
