This was my first time visiting the campus, and it was absolutely beautiful. The windows on the floors are floor to ceiling and offer great scenery of the greenery on campus. The second floor is for collaboration, and the third floor is for quiet study. Group study rooms during the summertime are often empty but are only reservable by students/faculty. WI-FI Wi-fi (MASON for guests) is free upon creation of an account. Your account expires every two weeks, so if you visit often as a guest, it might be tedious to keep creating/renewing accounts. BATHROOMS The bathrooms are very clean and tidy with multiple locations on each floor. PARKING Parking garages on campus are $5/hr, so if you're an outsider visiting to study, it can get quite pricy. Bus routes are also available around campus to the rest of the county.

Have not yet visited for a regular "library" visit. But it looks like a really nice library!…read more My one visit thus far was to cast my absentee ballot for the 2016 Presidential election. This library is one of several locations in Prince William County set up for absentee voting. A side entrance to the library - on the left hand side of the building is used for this activity - I'm assuming so as to not disrupt the normal everyday activities of library patrons.

This Library is very cool!…read more This was my first time visiting this library and I was very impressed with how aesthetically pleasing it looks on the inside, how many breakout rooms there were, a gaming room, separated area's for children's play, teenagers, study space/working space, lounge space for older patrons with bigger lounge chairs, etc. I spent about 2 hours here with some children and they very much enjoyed the children's learning area. There were magnetic busy boards, busy games, wall games, magnetic dominos, puppets, magnetic people mix and match, and the books! While here, I noticed people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities enjoying the services of the library. It was very clean and I was impressed with the spread of variety of things for different groups. There were DnD groups renting out rooms, coders, puzzlers, arts and crafters, and much more. It was a very pleasant and safe experience, we will visit again.

Despite its size, it was packed with moms and their little ones for a story time morning. It was easy to sign up for a card with my license. After my information was in the system, I received my card, a magazine that talked about upcoming library events, and an insert that described how to access digital content. They let me know that all library patrons will have to show proof of residency every five years in order for a card renewal. I also learned about the fee structure for any fines. Luckily, they have a system set up to email and/or text you with reminders, should you want them. Since this particular branch is so small and seems to cater to little ones and their parents, I would probably go to another PW location if I needed to do research or was looking for a variety of academic texts. However, I do appreciate the nice service when signing up for a card and learning more about the PW library system.
