Shirlington Library's location makes it a great stopping point as part of an entertaining day.

The new Shirlington Library location opened in 2007 in a lively neighborhood with neighboring shops and restaurants. There are reading programs, storytimes, and activity clubs, as well as Paws to Read, a program designed to encourage reluctant readers to build confidence through the nonjudgmental attention of dogs. 

Best Buns and Moby Dick House of Kabob are both less than a five-minute walk from the library for delicious options depending on your mood!

Thoughtfully captured by:
Randi Banks
Randi (Betts) Banks grew up in New York and graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. She moved to Washington, D.C. more than thirteen years ago with her husband, Eaghmon, and they love to explore the area and seek out adventure, now with their two young children along for the ride. Growing up right near the beach, they are happiest when on or near the water, so exploring the rivers, lakes, and streams in the greater DC area is a favorite pastime for their family. In addition to serving as one of the Washington, DC area ambassadors, Randi is also the Editor in Chief and Co-founder of happyly.
