The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street. The Alexandria Law Library provides legal resources for the benefit of the entire Alexandria community, including its citizens, government agencies, local businesses, the judiciary, and members of the bar.","For a more detailed timeline of the history of Alexandria Library, check out our website.","Alexandria Library Board Records\n Alexandria Library Company Records (MS002)","This collection contains the records of the Alexandria Library, documenting the administration and operation of the Library, dating from the founding of the public library in 1937 through the present.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street. The Alexandria Law Library provides legal resources for the benefit of the entire Alexandria community, including its citizens, government agencies, local businesses, the judiciary, and members of the bar.","For a more detailed timeline of the history of Alexandria Library, check out our website.","Alexandria Library Board Records\n Alexandria Library Company Records (MS002)","This collection contains the records of the Alexandria Library, documenting the administration and operation of the Library, dating from the founding of the public library in 1937 through the present.

It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E.

The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street. The Alexandria Law Library provides legal resources for the benefit of the entire Alexandria community, including its citizens, government agencies, local businesses, the judiciary, and members of the bar.","For a more detailed timeline of the history of Alexandria Library, check out our website.","Alexandria Library Board Records\n Alexandria Library Company Records (MS002)","This collection contains the records of the Alexandria Library, documenting the administration and operation of the Library, dating from the founding of the public library in 1937 through the present.

","In the latter half of the 20th century, the Board's role was scaled back. They continued to meet monthly and maintained oversight over management of the Library and its annual budget, but stopped managing daily operations.

The Library Director now also served as the Executive Director of the Board.","Currently, the Alexandria Library Board still consists of seven members (one member representing City Council, three members appointed by the City, and three members representing the Alexandria Library Company). They meet bi-monthly, or as needed, to discuss the maintenance and operation of the Library. The Board's current mission statement is, \"In accordance with an agreement with the City of Alexandria, the Alexandria Library Board sets the policies, rules and regulations of the Library; submits a budget to the City for the operation and maintenance of the Library; and appoints and approves such personnel as are necessary to operate the Library. The Board also sits as the Boards of the James M.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968.

The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street.

The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia. ","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum.  More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas. ","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways. ","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street.

(Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically) to coordinate their charitable efforts to provide assistance to those in need in their community.

Present-day executive directors by contrast have served as long as a decade. For much of the period of these records ALIVE!'s component committees operated with a high degree of autonomy, and while annual turnover was common for the chairs of committees in these early years, individuals could remain prominently involved in them for significant lengths of time.","\nThe initial committees of 1969 were Furniture, Food, Housing, Clothing and Family Emergency, most of which survive to this day in some modern form. The ALIVE! House shelter was established in 1971, opening the following year. The Child Development Center was established in June 1972. Many other programs were also created over the years. If they proved less enduring, they were nonetheless significant to the people that they helped. Demand for services greatly increased in the early 1980s even as some established forms of financial support dropped off, this led to a series of articles in the Alexandria Journal in 1982 questioning whether the organization would even survive. It did.","\nIn 1988, an outside management consultant was brought in to file a report on the administrative and financial management of ALIVE! In 1990, due the pressing necessity to qualify for assistance in renovating the ALIVE! House, which had been purchased the previous year, the organization instituted an annual audit and commissioned a history of the property. The auditor questioned the independence of ALIVE!'s component committees and suggested the appointment of a paid executive director, an issue that was the subject of considerable study and debate within the organization. This culminated in a 1992 decision that ALIVE! was not yet big enough to warrant such a position. The decision to hire an executive director would not be made until 2004, although it is interesting to note that ALIVE!'s fliers changed the heading for its list of officers and chairpersons from \"Board of Directors\" to \"Executive Directors\" in 1990.","\nOther changes during this period included the 1990 decision for ALIVE! to join the Combined Federal Campaign, the changing of the fiscal year in 1992 from one ending on August 31st to one following the Alexandria municipal fiscal year that ends on June 30th, and the beginning of the newsletter's transition toward its modern incarnation, The ALIVE! Wire, in 1991.","\nThe renovation of ALIVE! House was completed in May 1994 just in time for ALIVE! to celebrate its 25th anniversary later that year. Its commemorations included Alexandria Mayor Patricia Ticer proclaiming May 1, 1994 \"ALIVE! Day\" as well as a number of efforts to preserve the history of ALIVE! These included Eleanor S. Wainstein writing an official history and preserving oral accounts as well as the donation of a part of ALIVE!'s records to the Alexandria Public Library to form the present collection.","The ALIVE! collection contains annual reports, financial records, correspondence, minutes, training materials, flyers, clippings, and newsletters from throughout the history of the organization but with an emphasis on the 1980s and early 1990s. It also contains material from individual committees and programs, and particularly the Family Emergency Committee. For additional detail see the descriptions of the individual series.","ALIVE's annual reports, arranged by fiscal year, are typically composites of brief reports from its main office and component committees with financial reports attached at the end and often a message from the president. The ALIVE! fiscal year ended on August 31st for most of its early history, but switched in 1992 to a fiscal year ending on June 30th (the current fiscal year of the City of Alexandria). It should be noted that the 1991-1992 fiscal year was only 10 months long.","The three reports for the fiscal years 1971-1972, 1974-1975, and 1975-1976 are missing from the records.

Three members were representatives of the Alexandria Library Society (now Alexandria Library Company), two members were appointed by the mayor of the City of Alexandria, and the last two members were chosen from existing members of the Alexandria City Council. The Board maintained their administrative role and continued to hire operating personnel for the library and present an annual budget for the Library to the City Council and the Alexandria Library Company. ","In the latter half of the 20th century, the Board's role was scaled back. They continued to meet monthly and maintained oversight over management of the Library and its annual budget, but stopped managing daily operations. They were also no longer responsible for hiring Library personnel, only for appointing the Library Director. The Library Director now also served as the Executive Director of the Board.","Currently, the Alexandria Library Board still consists of seven members (one member representing City Council, three members appointed by the City, and three members representing the Alexandria Library Company). They meet bi-monthly, or as needed, to discuss the maintenance and operation of the Library. The Board's current mission statement is, \"In accordance with an agreement with the City of Alexandria, the Alexandria Library Board sets the policies, rules and regulations of the Library; submits a budget to the City for the operation and maintenance of the Library; and appoints and approves such personnel as are necessary to operate the Library. The Board also sits as the Boards of the James M.

Future accretions to this collection will be added to existing series.","When the Alexandria Library was established as a public library in 1937, a Board of Directors was established to perform administrative tasks and oversee operations for the library. The duties of the board were laid out in the 1937 Library By-Laws, which included generating reports to present to the Alexandria Library Company.","In 1947, new by-laws were written and updates were made to the structure of the Board. The Board was renamed The Alexandria Library Board (rather than the Board of Directors) and was determined to be made up of seven members. Three members were representatives of the Alexandria Library Society (now Alexandria Library Company), two members were appointed by the mayor of the City of Alexandria, and the last two members were chosen from existing members of the Alexandria City Council. The Board maintained their administrative role and continued to hire operating personnel for the library and present an annual budget for the Library to the City Council and the Alexandria Library Company. ","In the latter half of the 20th century, the Board's role was scaled back. They continued to meet monthly and maintained oversight over management of the Library and its annual budget, but stopped managing daily operations. They were also no longer responsible for hiring Library personnel, only for appointing the Library Director. The Library Director now also served as the Executive Director of the Board.","Currently, the Alexandria Library Board still consists of seven members (one member representing City Council, three members appointed by the City, and three members representing the Alexandria Library Company). They meet bi-monthly, or as needed, to discuss the maintenance and operation of the Library. The Board's current mission statement is, \"In accordance with an agreement with the City of Alexandria, the Alexandria Library Board sets the policies, rules and regulations of the Library; submits a budget to the City for the operation and maintenance of the Library; and appoints and approves such personnel as are necessary to operate the Library. The Board also sits as the Boards of the James M. Duncan, Jr. Foundation and the Alexandria Library Foundation that monitors the investment portfolios and approves grants from these funds\" ( Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2018 , Alexandria Library Board).

(Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically) to coordinate their charitable efforts to provide assistance to those in need in their community. The number of member congregations grew from 17 to 27 by 1973, 35 by 1983, 38 by 1994, to 42 today.","\nAt least through 1994, presidents of ALIVE! served for only a single fiscal year with the exception of founding president Bob Young, who served two non-consecutive terms. Present-day executive directors by contrast have served as long as a decade. For much of the period of these records ALIVE!'s component committees operated with a high degree of autonomy, and while annual turnover was common for the chairs of committees in these early years, individuals could remain prominently involved in them for significant lengths of time.","\nThe initial committees of 1969 were Furniture, Food, Housing, Clothing and Family Emergency, most of which survive to this day in some modern form. The ALIVE! House shelter was established in 1971, opening the following year. The Child Development Center was established in June 1972. Many other programs were also created over the years. If they proved less enduring, they were nonetheless significant to the people that they helped. Demand for services greatly increased in the early 1980s even as some established forms of financial support dropped off, this led to a series of articles in the Alexandria Journal in 1982 questioning whether the organization would even survive. It did.","\nIn 1988, an outside management consultant was brought in to file a report on the administrative and financial management of ALIVE! In 1990, due the pressing necessity to qualify for assistance in renovating the ALIVE! House, which had been purchased the previous year, the organization instituted an annual audit and commissioned a history of the property. The auditor questioned the independence of ALIVE!'s component committees and suggested the appointment of a paid executive director, an issue that was the subject of considerable study and debate within the organization. This culminated in a 1992 decision that ALIVE! was not yet big enough to warrant such a position. The decision to hire an executive director would not be made until 2004, although it is interesting to note that ALIVE!'s fliers changed the heading for its list of officers and chairpersons from \"Board of Directors\" to \"Executive Directors\" in 1990.","\nOther changes during this period included the 1990 decision for ALIVE! to join the Combined Federal Campaign, the changing of the fiscal year in 1992 from one ending on August 31st to one following the Alexandria municipal fiscal year that ends on June 30th, and the beginning of the newsletter's transition toward its modern incarnation, The ALIVE! Wire, in 1991.","\nThe renovation of ALIVE! House was completed in May 1994 just in time for ALIVE! to celebrate its 25th anniversary later that year. Its commemorations included Alexandria Mayor Patricia Ticer proclaiming May 1, 1994 \"ALIVE! Day\" as well as a number of efforts to preserve the history of ALIVE! These included Eleanor S. Wainstein writing an official history and preserving oral accounts as well as the donation of a part of ALIVE!'s records to the Alexandria Public Library to form the present collection.","The ALIVE! collection contains annual reports, financial records, correspondence, minutes, training materials, flyers, clippings, and newsletters from throughout the history of the organization but with an emphasis on the 1980s and early 1990s. It also contains material from individual committees and programs, and particularly the Family Emergency Committee. For additional detail see the descriptions of the individual series.","ALIVE's annual reports, arranged by fiscal year, are typically composites of brief reports from its main office and component committees with financial reports attached at the end and often a message from the president. The ALIVE! fiscal year ended on August 31st for most of its early history, but switched in 1992 to a fiscal year ending on June 30th (the current fiscal year of the City of Alexandria). It should be noted that the 1991-1992 fiscal year was only 10 months long.","The three reports for the fiscal years 1971-1972, 1974-1975, and 1975-1976 are missing from the records. Biennial reports for the fiscal years 2009-2014 are available from the ALIVE! Website.","The financial records series includes detailed budgets for 1988/1989 and 1989/1990, as well as the filings of IRS form 990 for tax exempt organizations for 1980 and 1991. IRS filings are available on the ALIVE! website for the year 2010 onward.","Also included are independent audit reports from 1990-1992, on the change in fiscal year calculation during that period see Annual Reports.  Financial statements including independent auditor's reports are available on the ALIVE! website for 2010 onward. ","ALIVE!'s correspondence files have been arranged into four chronological subseries. The first consists of internal memoranda, notes, and bulletins dealing with issues within the organization. The second deals with most external correspondence, including with other organizations and government agencies. The third covers correspondence with guest speakers and guests in general and consists largely of invitations and expressions of gratitude. The fourth contains correspondence with donors beyond ALIVE!'s membership and has been restricted due to some donations having been made anonymously.","This series contains all records relating to ALIVE! as a whole that do not fall under other series. It includes a file of schedules and lists that provides valuable information on who held which posts within ALIVE! and as congregational representatives over a decade of its history, several sets of brief minutes from ALIVE! meetings (see newsletters for more information), and some records on the question of appointing a paid executive director.","This series contains a 1974 training manual on working at ALIVE! and various flyers and handouts for volunteers for different ALIVE! committees.","This series includes records from individual committees and programs as well as specific issues that arose at one time or other, like the scramble to transport a large number of mattresses made available in Annapolis. The largest portion consists of records from the Family Emergency Committee.","The events series contains documents relating to ALIVE!'s 20th and 25th anniversary celebrations including histories of the organization. It also includes documentation on the renovation of ALIVE! House at 125 Payne in 1994 including a house history by Ruth Kaye.","A group of news clippings about ALIVE! from the Alexandria Journal was collected during  the Summer of 1982, there are no newsletters for this period, due to the absence of official meetings between June and September of that year. The articles evoke a sense of crisis largely absent from official newsletters and reports.","ALIVE! has had two runs of newsletters. The first was a run of simple monthly newsletters on single double-sided sheets, which included in some cases the minutes of meetings and financial reports from committees, and thus overlap significantly in content with other series. A second and more traditional newsletter, \"The ALIVE! Wire,\" began in Dec. 1991 and continued with \"vol.2\" in Oct. 1992 running concurrently with the original and continued to the present day with increasing regularity. More recent issues from the Fall of 2002 onward are available from the ALIVE! website.","The ALIVE! flyers contains two types of documents. The first is general flyers about the organization, which include a great deal of general information such as lists identifying the occupants of different executive positions for each year. The second consists of flyers for specific programs and events.","Local History and Special Collections Branch, Alexandria Library","English \n.

Burke to form the Junior Auxiliary of the Alexandria Hospital. They took the name \"The Twig\" from a contest entry by Mrs. Nellie Sommers Blackwell; this described the new organization as a small branch of the \"tree\" which supported the hospital.  The Auxiliary is currently associated with the INOVA Alexandria Hospital and hosts annual home tours in Old Town Alexandria.","This collection contains booklets created by the Auxiliary Board, Alexandria Hospital for the historic house tours of old Alexandria. This is an open collection starting from 1931, with the exception of a few years. Research and writing was performed by various people.","Addresses found in the 1931 book:","107 S.
