Takoma Park Neighborhood Library

I love ALL DC libraries, this one is amazing as well. It has old charm and amazing staff. The kids' space is really quiet and fun.

want to shout out how amazing this library and the greater dc library system is! where else can you have access to books and other resources (in print and online), free computer use and printing, covid testing, voting, and e-recycling (just to name a few services they offer). so happy to be a dc resident and part of this amazing effort. keep up the great work for the community!

My 10-year old loves using this library and wanted to leave a review about how awesome this library is. It has an incredible selection and easy-to-use interlibrary loan! Librarians have created a welcoming environment for kids to navigate independently, and are always ready to help when questions arise.

This a very cool and clean library. The librarians are always nice and informative. They have a nice amount of computers and a eclectic selection of books.
Reading Rainbow should tape an episode there.

I am a teacher at Whittier Education Campus. i have taken my classes to this library for the past eight years. The children's librarian, Mrs. Krell is always very helpful in planning trips, selecting books, securing library cards and ensuring our library experience is of high quality. I am grateful that each student is aware of this valuable lifetime resource in our community.

A very small building with a very helpful staff. Most of the time it's quiet, which is rare these days, even at libraries. We all suffer from screaming babies and loud-mouthed children wanting attention. Street parking starts at 9:30am and the parking Nazis definitely patrol.

This library is great. If you want any book in the DC Library system, all you need do is order it (through the online system) and it'll arrive at this branch in a day or two.

The scanning part of the printer allows you to scan anything for free and send it to your own or someone else's email. Printing is just 15 cents per copy.

The staff is helpful and attentive.

There is another review giving this library two stars, but that reviewer states that he is actually reviewing the google mapping function associated with the library -- not the library itself. I hope he revises his rating to accurately reflect his thoughts on the library.

The DCPL Takoma Park has an extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Despite having heard the same question for the millionth time, the staff members come to your assistance with a smile and willingness to help. They’ve hosted some very interesting speakers on topics relative to searches on your family tree and significant DC locations on the Underground Railroad to freedom for African Americans. The property is in a safe and pleasant DC neighborhood. I strongly urge and support the use of this vital facility!

Growing up I went here, my children and now my grands use this library. Everyone is always friendly & helpful. The selection of different mediums is much more than you would expect for a small location.

Nice library in a good looking building.
Nice people too.
You can order books throughout the DCPL system.

On a leafy street within walking distance of metro. Quiet, friendly staff. A valuable neighborhood attribute.
