The Kingstowne Library opened in the Kingstowne/Alexandria area on June 24, 2000. The branch serves its vibrant, growing community from a convenient location on the lower level of the Landsdowne Centre shopping center. 

The interior features colorful neon signs, a door connecting the library to its neighbor, the Kingstowne Center for Active Adults, and storefront windows that face the trees of nearby Fort Belvoir.

When was the land for the Kingstowne Regional Library purchased?

The site for the Kingstowne Regional Library was purchased in 2000 from Royal Palm Investments, Inc. for $3.4 million. The site was paid for from 1989 library bond funds.

Why was the land for the Kingstowne Regional Library bought so early?

The land and funding were both available and delaying the purchase might have resulted in losing such an advantageous location. The site chosen was convenient to major roads, centrally located for Kingstowne residents, and big enough for the library’s needs (a regional branch requires a minimum of 5.5 to six acres to accommodate the building and adequate parking). Since its purchase, the site has been improved with curbs, gutters and sidewalks around its perimeter, and all public utilities are available.

What will happen to the current Kingstowne Library in the Landsdowne Shopping Centre at the corner of Beulah Street and Telegraph Road?

The current Kingstowne Library was opened as a result of a corporate partnership with A.J. Dwoskin & Associates, Inc., which donated the space as a proffer when the Landsdowne Shopping Centre was built. The library has a 20-year lease on the space.
