"I am incredibly excited about having opened the City's first ever Library and am thankful for the hard work of City staff and LS&S who made this happen so quickly during a national pandemic. It has been a long time in the making for our City to provide direct library services to our community. We could not have done it without the expertise and support of LS&S who helped us: design the library layout, develop and implement a staffing plan, acquired all needed materials, designed our technology solutions, and for helping us gain acceptance into the Library of Virginia System and securing State funding. They have been a great partner with us all the way. While we are excited about opening our interim neighborhood library, we cannot wait to open our permanent downtown library in 2023. With the help of LS&S, we will create a library properly integrated to a modern commercial town center. We welcome all to come visit us!"

The Manassas Park City Library is located in Bloom's Park, amidst the walking paths and green space. Plans include a move to a larger, permanent space in downtown Manassas Park in 2023.
