Beatley, Jr., Mayor of Alexandria from 1967 to 1976 and 1979 to 1985, opened on January 31, 2000. Its unique roofline, comprised of multiple peaks, provides a striking landmark for Alexandria’s West End neighborhood. Since opening its doors, it has become a hub of communal activity. In addition to housing a large collection of print resources and audio-visual materials, the library hosts a variety of cultural and educational programs for all ages. Its spacious interior includes meeting and conference room facilities, public Internet stations, free wireless service and areas for quiet study or group interaction. With book or tablet in hand, patrons are also encouraged to enjoy the library’s outdoor reading garden.
