About the Arbutus Branch |
||||
|
The new Arbutus Branch opened on August 10, 2010. The new building is located at 855 Sulphur Spring Road and replaces the previous location at 1581 Sulphur Spring Road. The library is one part of the $11 million library, community and senior center complex at this location. The new library is 25,000 square feet -- nearly 10,000 square feet larger than the previous facility. It houses public computers that offer Microsoft Word and Excel, as well as Internet and e-mail access, a quiet study area, two group study rooms and a drive-up window to pick up and return materials. The meeting room is double the size of the room at our previous location. The branch offers a full range of information services, including telephone and walk-in reference service. Our collection includes everything from best sellers and children's literature to DVDs and books on CD. Business reference and local history resources are also available.

Arbutus Stories: During the 2010 spring semester and again in 2011, Intercultural Video Production students at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County worked with residents of Arbutus and surrounding communities on a collaborative video project. In Arbutus Stories, residents reflect on their life-long association with the community through digital stories. Each resident teamed with a student to create short movies combining photos and other imagery with recollections of people and places. The project was conceived as a celebration of the August 2010 opening of the new Arbutus Branch.
