We also have a regular stream of programs that include:
- Biweekly and monthly storytimes

- Read to Our Dog
- LEGO free play, for ages 2 – 12 with a guardian
Here’s a complete list of upcoming events for the next 30 days at Twinbrook.
What did you miss?
Thank you to our partners for some special programs we had, such as the Marlow Guitar International concert on September 30 featuring award-winning young classical guitarists, a fair on Energy Conservation held in partnership with our County Department of Environmental Protection, and a seminar on how to apply for a County job, with our Montgomery County Office of Human Resources.

Job Hunting and School Work
Two things we see a lot of customers doing in the library are applying for jobs and doing school work. MCPL has many good resources for Job Hunting, Career Growth, and planning your next move. We also have pages for Kids and Teens which include a wealth of resources and advice to help with that school work, including when the library is closed.

We hope you’re enjoying the Refreshed Twinbrook Library. All of the Energy Conservation work done on the library this year is now complete, and while we hope there is nothing for you to notice, the electric bill should be substantially lower going forward. Work on the buildings lights, electrical transformers, weather proofing, and part of the air conditioning system was done as part of the County’s Energy Conservation efforts, managed by the Department of General Services.
Library Advisory Committee
Our Twinbrook Library Advisory Committee meets about six times per year. Library advisory committees (LACs) are a part of the library board and advise the library system on library services at each branch. We encourage customers to attend LAC meetings, provide feedback during, before, or after the meetings, and of course, to join the LAC. Our chairperson, Andrea, Secretary Ron, and members Shirley, Beatrice, and James also attend branch events and often set up a table the week before the LAC meetings to answer questions and gather feedback.
The next three meetings are:
- Thursday, January 11 at 6:30 PM (Focus: Services)
- Thursday, March 8 at 6:30 PM (Focus: Materials Collection)
- Thursday, May 10 at 6:30 PM (Focus, Elections, agenda for next year)

New Flash Drives and Ear Buds for Sale |
Other News
In other news, customers will be pleased to learn that the system is now selling ear buds ($1) and flash drives ($3). We continue to benefit from restored materials funding, we’ve been steadily taking in brand new travel books all summer long, and the stream of best sellers and new movies and TV shows is very healthy. We hope you’ll enjoy some soon.
We hope to see you again soon at the Twinbrook Branch. If you haven’t been since we re-opened, see our Twinbrook Flickr album to get a flavor for what’s inside our branch.
Eric Carzon, Library Services Manager.
