This library has an amazing playground out back!!
Jim C.

You would never know that this is a library unless you knew ahead of time. This library hosts an awesome group of little kids reading and storyline options on Tuesdays. They also do special events (I.e.: balloon days) for little kids. In addition, it has one of the best fenced in playgrounds in the area. Two large playgrounds, one for toddlers and one for older kids in the midst of a spacious, treed yard perfect for picnics. Great library and an asset to the community. We drive from Leesburg to this library. It's just worth it.

I know Fairfax County libraries typically have the same offerings, but this one is unique and…read morespecial to me. I love how accessible this library is for walkers and bikers in the town of Herndon. You can enter from the bottom floor or the second floor from the outside. The bottom floor has conference rooms, a foyer with seating, local bulletins, and the Maker Lab. The top floor is where there's a huge communal quiet room with dividers for individual studying, the books, and computers. I would recommend chatting with any librarian here to find out everything the library has to offer. It is a LOT. I am a fan of the Maker Lab.

At first I was a little unsure about the parking situation since there was an outdoor and covered…read morelot that looked like it was for another municipal building but there was an entrance to the library nearby so it was nice having the free parking. We were new to the area and it wasn't hard to get a library card. Initially we went to the help desk and were redirected to the check out counter. Once we gave them basic info like a piece of mail with our address and phone number we were able to get library cards and info about the Libby application for ebooks, audiobooks and magazines. New in 2022 there is also Kanopy, an on-demand streaming video service. Each account is assigned 5 "play credits" per month. There were a decent number of international and indie titles to choose from. Overall the library is smaller than others I have been to but it seems cozy. There seems to be a regular board game meetup that meets downstairs on Saturday. You should show up earlier rather than later from the specified time range though since after they form groups and start playing it may be harder to join in on a game until one group finishes their play session.
