Nice library (doesn't have the old book smell) within walking distance of huge Giant grocery store…read more The unique selling point of this library is the private study rooms and their well functioning A/C (lol). The rooms are available on a first come first serve basis where you can work distraction free for up to two hours if there's a line. In the middle of summer I get to go to this library wearing my favorite hoodies. I say this with no complaints; I breathe better and think clearer when there's air. Outside of that it's your regular library with the standard amenities. Ample computers, tables, outlets, newspapers, etc.

Unfortunately the kids section is on the same level as the adults and the level of noise from…read morescreaming kids made it impossible to focus. Kids need their spaces in libraries, of course, but either on a separate floor or a walled off space. Not the kids or librarians fault - but open floor plans in libraries create this issue.

There are two printers and you pay per page on honor system. There's only one copier and you pay per page. It can scan documents for free that get emailed where you want. Oh yeah, they have books and DVDs. If you really need serious research for business, go to one of the business schools like George Mason in Fairfax or Arlington.

AMBIANCE Reston Regional Library is one of the quieter…read morebranches in Fairfax County. As only regional branches are open on Sundays, I decided to visit to to complete some studying. There's two rows of public use computers right as you enter the front doors, and ample tables for reading/working. Being a regional branch as well, they also offer more book options and resources for residents. Although located across a police station, I was surprised to see such a heavy presence of officers in the library (right as you enter and making rounds about the library itself). BATHROOMS The bathrooms aren't the cleanest, and when I visited, men entered the women's bathroom to use as well. PARKING There is ample parking available in the lot, and there's never a lack of spaces. It can get littered (we saw a couple condoms scattered about the lot).

Love their kids room here! Tons of books, puzzles, magnet boards, and games for the little ones…read more They also offer free classes for kids that you have to pre-register for online. The classes are great, but some of the librarians take their role as facilitator of the class too seriously; they're more like dictator of the class. I get needing structure and rules, but it becomes a problem when you can't even hold the kids attention because you're spending 5 minutes going over "rules" that can be summed up into "sit on your bottom and put on your listening ears.

At first I was a bit worried since Googlemaps said parking was difficult around the area but…read morethere's a ramp right across the street which was nice on a rainy day. Since I was carrying my daughter it was a bit frustrating that the wave to open doors weren't working and the elevator to the second floor was being repaired but there were ample bathrooms and even an infant care/nursing room. The baby storytime was fun and I appreciated the casual open playtime afterwards especially since I got there a little late. Overall the librarian and other participants were friendly and respectful. Looking forward to attending more library events with my little one!

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.

This library absolutely hits!…read more Granted, I've never made it past the children's book section but that only means there is so much for me to explore. This library is a grand two levels and is open on Sundays which makes this a great way to spend a rainy day weekend. The librarians are SO friendly and their selection of new children's books and graphic novels is vast. My family and I are avid bookstore goers and library visitors but for some reason we always find new things to read here. They have several study rooms and conference rooms available. We had a Girl Scout meeting that involved a bunch of printing and research needs -- their online reservation system made it so easy to book. It's prime Fairfax City location makes this a great place to run a bunch of errands at once. I recommend grabbing a book and reading at the Layered cafe next door for the ultimate cozy day treat.

My favorite library tucked inside old town Fairfax. Theres plenty of parking in the garage with…read morecovered and uncovered parking accessed on university drive. It's clean and bright, and has great community events! My favorite section has to be the area where the books are themed. There's been spooky themed books for Halloween and now Fall in Love Blind Date with a book. It's in the young adult section near the high top tables. There's also a lot of seating downstairs and upstairs. I also adore all the plants they have on display. It's giving cozy vibes all around for all types of patrons.

I repeated that I had cash or check to pay his tuition. They would not accept and told me to drive to NOVA at Annandale after I had made a 38 mile trip to the NOVA Loudon campus. That is a disgrace to treat a paying parent in such manner. Something is patently wrong with an institution that won't accept cash-in-hand payment. I can understand now why NOVA is referred to as being financially corrupt with a don't-give-a-damn mentality in how they treat people.

Big, clean, helpful staff…read more It is across the street from a high school so it gets busy around 230/3 - especially the roads! But even without students it seems to be a well loved library- it's not overly packed but it is busy during the day. It seems to have a diverse group of ethnicities that come through seeing how they offer one-on-one tutoring and multiple books in different languages. Is a good library. Just avoid school dismissal time.
