Since our opening day on Aug. 10, 2003, the Ashburn Library has been committed to serving the needs of our community and providing free access to books, wifi, public computers, meeting rooms, and educational, fun programming for adults, teens, and children.
Pickup available
08/29/2020
The Ashburn and Rust branches of the Loudoun County Public Library system will offer Curbside Pickup service only beginning Monday, Aug. 31. Customers will not be able to enter either branch due to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors' decision to utilize the buildings as childcare facilities for the upcoming school year.
Customers will be able to access Curbside services at each location Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The service continues to operate in the same fashion as it did when all LCPL branches temporarily closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customers are encouraged to place holds through the online catalog at catalog.library.loudoun.gov or call the Ashburn (703-737-8100) or Rust (703-777-0323) libraries for assistance. Customers will be contacted through their choice of email, text or phone call when their items are ready to be picked up.
The other eight LCPL branches remain open to the public during the same hours with the exception of the Law Library in downtown Leesburg, which is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I was attacked at this library the other day by a mentally disabled man. I was there bringing my 13 month old for story time. We are still recovering from minor injuries after being shoved into the lego table, though it could have been much worse as he was throwing heavy metal book stands at the walls in the children’s area where there were several young children as well as at least half a dozen infants. One of them hit the wall just above my daughters head. Thanks to my husband for being there and being the first to spring into action to detain him until authorities were able to get there. Apparently the disturbance began in the adult section and he was able to make it across the library, past the front desk, past the children’s desk, to the back play area without interception by either his caretaker or staff members to endanger vulnerable children. Clearly there was no plan in place for such an emergency! So my question is: What is being done now to protect the library’s patrons from future incidents???
Thank you Ashburn library for such a fun and well organized Spa night!
