BAD NEWS: COUNTY CLOSING THE CONNECTION LIBRARY

Without any prior notice to the community, the County is closing the Connection Library December 27. It was posted on the Library's website.

The Crystal City, Aurora Highlands, and Arlington Ridge Civic Associations are dismayed by the County’s announcement, lack of communication, and poor decision to leave the growing community without a library until (hopefully) a more permanent situation can be worked out in 2-3 years. We know that the County extended the Pop Up Library only for 18 months in June 2018. However, it is a very bad idea to close it now. The Library has become a focal point for Crystal City and sees frequent visits from the residential and business community alike. It is a major attraction for Amazon and other businesses and Crystal City is being revitalized as an attractive area to both live and work. Killing off such an attraction now runs counter to the County's commitment to provide adequate infrastructure in this area.

The 3 CAs have sent a letter of protest, asking for an urgent meeting with the County Manager, Board members, and County staff to discuss what we consider to be an untimely closing of the Connection Library and to understand what the County goals and plans are for the future with respect to the library and the Livability Framework.

Email the Arlington County Board and demand they keep the Crystal City Connection Library open at [email protected] ...
