Keep Cherrydale Library Open

Please do not close this wonderful historical library. It means so much to EVERYONE in Arlington.

Libraries are sacred spaces! Do not close the Cherrydale Library.

I grew up walking to this library every week, and now my toddler gets to enjoy the same. Libraries should never be the target of budget cuts!

Cherrydale Library is one of the better examples of successful Outreach by the Arlington Library System. Easy access and adequate parking allows patrons - especially older ones or those with young children - to check out books, dvds, and other materials quickly. It's presence also reflects fairness in the distribution of libraries within the County, putting 4 each in North and South Arlington. Lastly, if one of the goals of the library system is to encourage people to read and learn, then losing Cherrydale would do a great disservice to the community. Please keep it open.

Cherrydale Library is vital to the Arlington,, VA community. Please keep Cherrydale Library open. Thank you for your consideration.

This library is an invaluable community resource and allows me easy access as a NW DC resident access to the incredible Arlington library collection. It absolutely should not be closed!

Please keep this neighborhood library. It benefits the entire county to have libraries in every neighborhood. Libraries are the heart of a community.

Cherrydale library was one of the reasons we chose to live in Arlington! Walking to the library with our children with our library tote was an integral part of growing up. They can now walk to the library on their own and appreciate a new perspective as they engage with the library and our community as young adults. It may seem small but Cherrydale library has always and will always have an enormous impact on our community. Now is certainly not the time to decrease access to knowledge through books or to decrease the sense of community. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please just don’t

We love Cherrydale Library!!!!

We are new to the area and love the library!!

Keep this community library open!

Please keep the library open! I love this library! I had good memories visiting this library many times and would be so sad if it was closed.

We are overwhelmingly tired of the county’s misdirected efforts to cut very needed services for neighborhoods in favor of marginal (if that) notional gains. Those library is a safe haven for children attending the nearby middle school and using the bus stops. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - stop threatening our safe spaces and commercializing everything that makes a community enjoyable.

Please don’t close this charming library. It adds so much to the character of the neighborhood and encourages a love of books! This library is one of my favorite parts of living here.

Support library workers and free public spaces! More 3rd spaces and less condos!

i’ve been going to the library since I was 2. It is a loved part of the community where many elementary school students who live within walking distance go for magic shows or to read with their family. It’s a great place for middle schoolers to go after school, only a block away, to study with their friends, and it promotes academic success. cherrydale library is an important part of our neighborhood, and it needs to say.

Cherrydale Library is a cozy community treasure.

This library is a valuable neighborhood resource.

My wife takes my daughter there for story time and rent books while also making friends, creating a support network and build a sense of community
