There is also a playroom and area for little children and in the afternoon on the weekends, pre-teens and teens can come and reserve a time to play video games.

This was the first time I had ever been to this library and I must say, it did not disappoint! The…read morelibrary is cozy but the kids section was open and the selection was vast. I came here so I could get some work done and the kids had a ball - reading, using the computer, and playing in the "kitchen". The staff here was so NICE and accommodating. They were really in tune with the kids. We even got invited to a bird demonstration they did from the humane society, and the kids actually paid attention and made me build the bird feeder that we received and learned how to make from the presentation. Definitely adding this one to the library rotation.

I've been here four times…read more First time, I just wanted to get signed up for a library card so that way I would be set if I ever needed anything down the road. Assuming I would not really be back. The second time, I lost internet in my house for a few hours and went there to work on my laptop for work. The third time, I picked up a book that I had reserved online that they had brought over from the other branch. The fourth time I went in to use the computer to print some tax paperwork. Each time the staff members were ready to help and knowledgeable and I'm really glad because I was in a few tight spots there and I felt like the staff was always ready. I'll def be going back to either get books or study.

A Great Resource for ALL!…read more This library is simply, a gem. It often gets overlooked between the hustle and bustle of the congested, busy Oxon Hill Road traffic and slue of neighboring businesses. As an avid bookworm and lover of books, I've seen this library many times while on my commute riding home but today I was off and decided to stop by and venture in. Although not much to look at on the outside, I must say I was impressed with the interior of the library and its collection. Although the collection of books are small compared to other libraries around, they were still relevant and current. What makes this library special is that they have a huge collection of African-American history and literature..... actually, as I learned from the head librarian, it is one of the largest collections of African-American history books and literature in the Washington DC area. I spent some significant time and this section of the library and really enjoyed it. Lots of knowledge and artifacts for the avid readers and knowledge seekers. I also couldn't help but notice a community puzzle that was laid out on a table that was really cool! I even added a couple of the missing pieces myself and found it to be very cathartic--relaxing. In all, neighborhood libraries can be a bit of lost nostalgia, but I find these resources to be very important in today's digital world. It's great to step into a space and actually feel, read, engulf yourself into reading materials as oppose to glaring screens and tablets. I highly recommend stopping by this library and giving it your patronage. It is open to all, whether you are a DC or Maryland resident. The staff is truly knowledgeable and seemed very happy to help with my questions/requests. The facilities is fully Wi-Fi enabled and can service a great stop for quick teleworking. It's the historical reference for me about this library and the vast collection of African-American literature that makes this place a stand out. They will even go back to the old collections and pull something out for you. They even have a wide variety of events, programs, including educational programs and lectures. And if they don't have what you are looking for, they can order it from another library and have it brought in for you. Not to mention, your library card gives you full access to digital materials and a library service called Libby, which contains just about anything you would find both old and current in any bookstore for free. I definitely recommend a stop by to this library. I have something for all ages. Enjoy!

We have been to a few libraries for story time and Oxon Hill is hands down the best. They do a great job picking books that engage the kiddos. Plus the music/movement breaks are always on point. The staff is always friendly, engaging, and welcoming. I adore this library and highly recommend their story time for the little humans. Let me also add that they have a great Children's book section.

I really enjoyed my interactions here and plan to return again soon for both baby time and book check out.

They do a lot of children's activities so if you're looking for a super quiet library this is not the place for you. Depending on the time of day parking can be a challenge.

Great library and community resource!…read more Just what this neighborhood needs. I am a bookworm and love myself some libraries....not to mention, an avid reader and enjoy the nostalgia of "physical" books! Not the digital stuff! I stopped by this library by happenstance because I had an overdue book in my trunk and the thought hit me to return it, when I noticed this location while passing through this neighborhood --- trying to follow Google Maps short cut route home during rush hour. I must say I was impressed. Although, the library collection is limited, there are tons of free resources, internet and computer services available for both adults and kids living in this neighborhood that may not otherwise have access to these types of resources. The facilities is small and you will not be overwhelmed as you are exploring their collection. Also, this library is very quiet, well organized and is great for serving as a study or meeting place for groups given there is low foot traffic. The staff are very helpful as well. They were very accommodating to my super late book return and I was happy to know that there were no fees. It was my first time visiting this library and I enjoyed my time here. Time well spent to say the least...and who knew?!....I was able to kill some time in this library instead of being stuck in rush hour traffic. I co-sign and recommend this great community resource!
