Rosedale Library

Helpful and courteous young men at the front desk, audiobooks for road trips, graphic novels, small pretend kitchen play area for kids, computer, parking for both cars and bikes, and adjacent playground and outdoor pool (with water slides). Great place to have!

Rosedale Library is a small public library, but a might one! Attached to a recreation center and pool and with a D.C. monument-themed playground, the library has a small parking lot. Walk inside to one large room with books, an area for children, and computers with free printing for cardholders. (You can print up to 20 pages a day for free.)

This is a small but reliable public library. It stays cold so bring a jacket and the computers are fast.

This is our go-to library even though we live equal distance to others - the staff here are amazing! They are so welcoming and helpful, and I’ve never had any issues with the many of books I’ve put on hold. I feel that the librarians do their best to keep peace within the walls and allow a place of refuge like libraries were meant to be for youth; unfortunately for some, their shenanigans results in them getting kicked out and the front doors being locked (pro-tip: get a librarian’s attention through the window and they’ll let you in). I would love to see more support for the librarians in this area so they can focus on what they do best and and allow others to bridge a gap with the youth who don’t have a place to go. I also like that’s it’s located right next to the rec center and playground

Nice pool. Clean facility.
