About Dale City Neighborhood Library
The fourth of six neighborhood libraries to open, Dale City's dedication ceremony took place on February 11, 1986, amid snow and ice. The library is a 2,475 square foot, single story, County owned structure. The Dale City Civic Association donated a mural for the children’s area as well as landscaping for the site. The library’s three flagpoles were donated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1503.
The library collection comprises about 26,000 items including Audio Books, DVD’s, and Videos. The library has three computer stations available to the public for internet use. There is also access to the full service libraries by telephone, computer terminal, and delivery system. Dale City offers notary services, fax services, and engraving equipment. Story hours remain popular with young children. Summer Quest and Teen Summer Reading programs remain a welcome summer activity for all the children.
Dale City is staffed with one full-time and four part-time staff members and a large group of community volunteers.
On March 26, 2001 an act of arson closed the library. The outpouring of community concern and support for Dale City staff and for the rebuilding of the facility demonstrates the integral role of this library in the community.
Dale City reopened for service on November 13, 2001.
