I am from Northern VA and I have a son who is a senior in the Arlington County Public Schools who has used this library. My cousin works for this Library. Those kids need this to stay open and the workers there have made a difference for years. PLEASE KEEP IT OPEN!!!!! Save the Library!

The Cherrydale Library is an irreplaceable community center -- a gathering place, home to book and arts events and a wonderful resource center when questions come up and peaceful refuge from the craziness of everyday life.

In these times of rampant anti-intellectualism, censorship, and attempts to redefine history, closing a library is a terrible choice.

Arlington has the best library system. Don't destroy it. Libraries are for communities.

I strongly oppose the proposal to close Cherrydale Library. The benefits to our community far outweigh any potential cost savings. Do the right thing!

My family and I love walking to this library and joining their events! It is a sweet and historic library. A lot of children use the library after school as well.

I don’t live in Cherrydale but very much appreciate what the library brings to the neighborhood and the people who live there.

This is ridiculous. Surely you can find something else to cut besides a library. Maybe look at the economic development or police budgets

This is my intellectual home where I learned to become an American by books and people I met through book club meetings and programs that changed my life greatly such as Reading and Running Program after getting a lot out of Story Times for my child. Please do not evict us!

This is a very short sighted proposal. Please keep Cherrydale Library open!

As a Maryland library worker and a VA library patron, I strongly urge the Arlington library leadership to reverse their decision to close this branch and to reduce their staffing. Libraries are more important in 2026 than ever and all efforts should be made to preserve accessible library locations and maintain a strong workforce.
