Catalog Down Monday (8/20) Night

WRL's online catalog will be undergoing maintenance on Monday, 8/20, from 9 p.m. til 12 a.m. Users will not be able to access their account or check out digital content at that time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Come Out To A Community Meeting

On 8/22, WRL and RRMM-Lukmire Architects will be hosting a series of community meetings to find out more about what you want from your library. We'll have sessions for families with small children, senior citizens, members of the business community, teens, and the general public. Click here for more information -- we hope to see you there!

We Need Your Input

Family Movie Mondays

Join us all summer long for family movie screenings! Come by the Williamsburg Library Theatre each Monday at 11 a.m. for the early show, or bring your own blankets and snacks for a picnic-style viewing at the JCC Library at 6:30 p.m. Check our calendar for the complete list of movies.
