Hello,

Welcome to the Henrico County Public Library System. It’s an exciting time to visit one of our eleven locations either in person or remotely. Did you know that over 1.8 million visits were made to our Library and individuals logged on to library computers over 500,000 times last year?

As you can see, we are a very popular destination. No wonder we have been honored with over 25 National Association of Counties Awards for library services.

Presently, the County is served by four area libraries - Dumbarton, Fairfield, Tuckahoe and Twin Hickory; five branch libraries - Gayton, Glen Allen, North Park, Sandston, and Varina; as well as two specialized libraries -- the Municipal Government and Law Library and the Bookmobile.

We offer over 385 public use computers, as well as a website teeming with information. Whether at home or in our branches, we encourage you to try our easy to use online catalog, sample any of over 50 online databases, or learn about any of our free programs – all online.

We invite you to visit any of our branches in person, or use one of our online sevices, such as Ask A Librarian. Henrico County Public Library prides itself on serving you, your family, and your neighbors well.
