It's hard to miss this unique building from an architectural standpoint. We really enjoy this library for the wide range of events for babies, toddlers, and kids. We have visited for story times, play dates, and crafts. The children's section is also really nice and includes lots of toys and a play kitchen that is popular. As far as inventory, this is a very well stocked library. Lots of bilingual Spanish books, noticed some Japanese and Korean books too. The book sales they do a few times a year are great opportunities for inexpensive children's books. read more

One of my favorite places is a library. Fairfax County has an impressive system. There's no question of that. This branch in Springfield is decent enough. I will say that it's reference section is excellent. Yet they seem to lack the technology, that other branches have. If you need to use a computer, best of luck as probably won't happen with haste. Friendly staff. Also quiet compared to some of the others. That is a plus, as some of them, are getting rather chaotic. Also the selection of non fiction and fiction is more than adequate. If in the area I'll stop by, but with the price of gas these days, well you understand. It gets a conditional nod, as it works for basic purposes read more

This library is well-organized with dedicated spaces for different uses and readers. We (my kids and I) agree it is a bit noisy, but this didn't bother us. I was able to sit and read while my kids browsed for books they wanted without being disturbed by the noises all around. My kids are avid readers, so while the selection available to them is better than what they find at the two smaller branches near us, they crave a larger collection for readers beyond 2nd grade who aren't yet teens. We've lived in a number of other places and the Fairfax Libraries are average in size and offerings to what we have been able to access in other library systems. The audio book collection in particular is much smaller than our last two libraries. Overall, though, the staff are helpful and informative and the atmosphere welcoming and comfortable. They have a calendar of monthly activities and the youth volunteer handed out book marks and was promoting recommended reading lists along with the summer reading program. I also saw bags of activities that could be checked out. There are multiple sitting areas with comfy chairs. There are multiple book checkout stations, so the lines move quickly when there is one. Parking is ample. read more

It is such a pleasure to have one of the regional libraries nearby. They are everything one hopes a library would be for the community and for their patrons. They are service oriented, friendly, and helpful, and always seem to be trying to improve their offerings in all aspects. The only reason I won't leave a 5 Star review today is that they have rearranged the front space in the library, and being an older, long-time patron, I was accustomed to the new books, Hot Picks, etc. being in a certain place. I don't find the new arrangement nearly as pleasing or as roomy. read more

This library is conveniently located to my house. Parking lot is convenient with ramp to the library itself for easy access with strollers. The librarians are also so great! I've encountered 2 different librarians and they're truly helpful and friendly. Books are always so organized and re shelved fast for others to grab books. Children's section is neatly organized and shelved. The little tables and chairs for kids are comfortable and colorful. read more

This location is clean, orderly and well stocked. The employees are friendly and helpful and there's always room in the "quiet" study room. I bring someone here about twice a month for Best Buddies Library program. The only thing they may not have considered is an accessible cut at the bottom of the ramp. The side where handicap parking is is flat/accessible but its a longer walk. read more

Pohick Regional Library - Libraries Near Me - Burke, Virginia

I love Pohick Regional Library. Seriously, I've considered this place to be my second home... Plus I have my 14 digit Library card number memorized. Yeah, boi! The programs for children, teens, and adults are informative and entertaining (Saw Blue Jay Walking here!). I also love their books sales. I am lucky and have come across great finds such as an autographed copy of "Angela's Ashes" and first edition of "'Tis", British copy of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and an Italian edition of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" The library is open seven days a week which I find helpful. It's very well-organized and very clean. Their materials are also kept in great condition. The library, is in part, supported by "The Friends of Pohick Regional Library" and in addition to running the book sales mentioned above, the group also have members on site from time to time to give gardening advise and tips. The group have done a great job with the beautiful flowers surrounding the library. There are also benches outside and in the small garden led by the path. I commend the librarians. They help readers by showing you HOW to find what you need and how to locate the item. read more

It's a nice place But there are not always good people there it's sometimes danger bad kids bad adults you never know the possibility's at this library Mojority o read more

I love this place! Maybe because I am a book worm... maybe because my kids can't talk... it is ALMOST walking distance from my house... they have free wifi... but don't use it... PICK UP A BOOK... but they do have an app to get e-books. I just love the smell of libraries, the people are wonderful, and it has great resources for the books they do not have on site. I have missed the book sales but they seem to have them each season. They have great programs for the kids as well, although we never participated in them. To me, the most important thing, it is just worth being able to go and sit, peacefully and read and see other kids reading, and not in Barnes and Noble where they sugar people up, but in a positive learning environment! Bravo!!! read more

Definitely the best library in the county. Not only is it a regional library offering a long reach to get you books that may not be on its actual shelves, but also the great programs they put on for kids, teens, and adults. They've done battle of the bands, they have the summer reading program, movie nights, local high school art shows and a volunteer fair in september for high school kids who need credit hours! In a nation where many libraries are open only a few days a week for a few hours at a time, where you can only find worn copies of irrelevant books and out of touch magazines, the fairfax county library system is and Pohick library in particular is the best because it does balance the varied needs of all it's diverse clients and does so with little thanks. Never is a book so far out of circulation that it cannot be located and brought to whatever location is most convenient for the patron. read more

The new renovations has made the library awful. There is a high ceiling in the main area, making every noise echo, which is literally what you DONT want for a library. Before the renovations, a couple years ago, the place was outdated however it was QUIET. The silent reading area is now a tiny open section that can hear the echos from the main area. I understand that a public library that is catered more towards children should not be completely silent, however the amount of noise here is ridiculous. read more

After spending a hard day fishin' I like to head to the library and pick out something read. It helps me sleep at night. Staff here are friendly, always helpful and never seem to mind that I smell like old fish. read more

This is my local library. Their hours are convenient; they are open most weekday evenings and on weekends. The staff is usually helpful and will take time to help find books and references. They have online services to renew books and search for books on desired topics from home. Books that are not available because they are checked out or available at other branches. Many of their reference resources can also be accessed from home. read more

Decent collection, horrible parking. Get there early on a Saturday.

I really like this library! Easy parking and friendly staff. Only thing stopping me from giving a five star rating is the noise. I understand parents bring their kids to the library to read and work on activities but today as I was trying to study for an exam I witnessed a parent watching his two kids run around and yelling. SERIOUSLY!!! The library isn't a park so be respectful for others who actually come to get work done in a quiet space. read more

They may have many services. But I go to libraries to get books out. Pohick has been like most I have been to country-wide: disappointing in keeping older books, relishing getting the 'new' ones. New is not always better. Physically, I find that some of the stacks are poorly lit and the aisles to narrow to comfortably browse. read more

Besides being a "hard to get to" location and having some pretty awful parking, the library itself it quite nice. It appears to have a good collection of new release fiction, however, I was disappointed by the DVD / video section. All-in-all, one of the better county libraries in Fairfax read more
