We're heartbroken to learn a student in our community was injured by the accidental discharge of a gun today. Remember that gun locks are available FREE at all of our libraries. Stop in and ask - and help prevent the next tragedy.

Folks, please wait to return your items until the libraries have reopened. We are still closed today because we are working to clear the ice from lots and sidewalks. We want everyone to stay safe in these very icy conditions. Remember, AACPL does not charge overdue fines.

AACPL will be closed Sunday, January 25 and Monday, January 26 due to the weather.
HOWEVER, we are open until 5 pm on Saturday, so there's still time to go grab some snow day reads.
