What my clients have to say ~ Page 77 of 77 ~ Don Koonce

Skyway Library is open Monday-Thursday 10 am-9 pm; Friday 10 am-6 pm; & Saturday 10 am-5 pm.

Opened on January 26, 2016, the Skyway Library is an 8,000-square feet neighborhood jewel designed by Weinstein A/U. The big blue building features computers, printers & Wi-Fi, meeting room, photocopier/scanner and after-hours book return.

“We’re so lucky to have a place like Skyway Library in our neighborhood!” says one Facebook review. “This place is truly our community hub – whether you’re in a club, a child building healthy social relationships and learning about bugs, a teen interested in immersing themselves in activities they actually care about (like a “Hunger Games” obstacle course) or an adult interested in documentary films and live music… or, you just want a great book.”

Spring is coming.

Hang in there, friends! It won’t be long before this bitter cold is a distant memory, and—if you’re lucky—you’ll be spending way too much time in the garden. This month, I’m pulling winter weeds to prevent them from seeding. It helps to keep spring and summer weeding at a minimum.

Neighborhood Spotlight: Skyway Library

In other news, have you seen the extensive list of upcoming events at Skyway Library? I was thrilled to discover everything from Slanted Eyes: The Asian American Experience to Lego Brick Builders and everything in between, and am really looking forward to the Indoor Cinema showing of Loving—the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple whose arrest for interracial marriage in 1960s Virginia began a legal battle that ended with the Supreme Court’s historic 1967 decision.
