The Arlington county library system is the best. Lots of little branches in the communities and a transfer system that allows them to operate like one large system. This branch is at the heart of our community, it is our hub, our school bus stop and our community center. I visit it everyday.

My children and I go to Glencarlyn after school to do homework. Their reward is free time on the kids PC that is usually always available, sometimes we have to wait for turns, but well worth the wait. There are adult PC's for 30 minute and 60 minute use also. When the weather is good, we go outside and enjoy the garden and gazebo as well as the play ground.😄

It is super convenient to have a library in my neighborhood! While this one is small they've had everything I needed and there are programs for kids, which my son loves.

I am a job seeker. I am visiting this place to do my self study online since a month. It's a quiet and kid friendly library with very co-operative staff persons.

I love this library! The staff are all wonderful, friendly and very helpful, the facility is well maintained, and the garden surrounding the building is a joy to walk through. It's in a residential area and very quiet and convenient. My one and only complaint is I wish they had more books, CD's and movies but they are always willing to search the system and have anything I want sent there from other branches. It's a great place to browse....also very kid friendly. I bring my grandchildren there and there are always other children using the computers or studying. I repeat....I love this library!
