Opened September 29, 2007, the Oakton Library is certified with a Silver Rating under the Leadership
Energy In Environmental Design (LEED) program, sponsored by the U.S.
Green Building Council. The branch serves as a community center, and provides an array of programs and materials for all ages. The 17,304 square-foot facility, which houses approximately 65,000 volumes, gives the reader a pleasant sense of bringing the outdoors in, due to ample natural lighting from seven oversized windows and a raised clerestory. In 2008 this location was certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Habitat.
The Oakton collection includes books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and newspapers, kits for book groups and a Spanish collection for children. The Friends of Oakton Library assist generously with their time and monetary support. Programs are offered for all ages, including preschool story times to promote early literacy, activities to motivate school-aged children to use the library, book discussion groups, and much more. Guest presenters are often hosted thanks to the generosity of our Friends group.
Come on in and meet our friendly staff, who are ready to help you find your way around and enjoy all that we have to offer. |
