Library Renovation Project

In their FY16 budget, the Takoma Park City Council has provided the opportunity for significant improvements to the Library facility, by approving funds for detailed design development focused on options for renovation and possible building expansion.

More information is available on the Library Renovation Project page.

About The Library

The Takoma Park Maryland Library is an independent municipal public library, and a department of the City of Takoma Park. It operates its own website, complete with tools to search the library’s catalog, access individual accounts and renew borrowed materials. You can also browse more than 2000 magazines and newspapers, search on-line reference databases, and access e-books, streaming audiobooks, and on-line language learning programs.

We have information about books, programs and other events on several web logs, as well as on the City calendar.

Please note:  The Library’s 84th Birthday Celebration is on Tuesday July 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Library!  The Takoma Insider has erroneously listed the Library’s Birthday Celebration date as Tuesday, July 2 at 7:30.

We will have cake and special “Why I Love my Library” birthday cards that you can decorate, and post for all to see! All are invited to this special celebration, which will be combined with Bedtime Stories and a craft. Decorate cards with Ms. Kati and Mr. Dave! All are welcome ! This is a new date for the birthday party, replacing the July 2nd. Date.

Library cards are free to anyone living, working or attending school in Takoma Park. Others must pay an annual non-resident fee.
