The addition of a community library in Dulles South will immediately add 160,000 books and 40,000 square feet of library space to the Loudoun County Public Library System. The additional books and space will allow the Loudoun County Public Library to meet the Virginia Library Association’s Standard of Services adopted by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. The Gum Spring Library will provide the much needed professional staff, books and materials that will encourage children to become lifelong readers. Teens and older adults will have access to a welcoming environment of information and all community members will have a world of technology waiting for them at the library.
