Welcome to the Library

Jenny Shanker

Librarian, 703-228-2937

I've been a librarian in Arlington Public Schools since 2011. I have a wonderful family, including my husband and two daughters: one in high school and the other in college at JMU (Go Dukes!). I am originally from Connecticut but have lived in the DC area since 1995. I love reading, of course, but I also love hiking, being in nature, photography, kayaking, and spending time with my family.

I am a second career-er. I left my IT consulting job when my first was born. I have worked as a vet tech and I love animals. I love to travel, eat, swim, ski, read, paddle board, and try new things. Come by the library and say HI!

Library Information

Students will be able to check out books anytime during the day from 7:30 am to 2:40 pm.
Students will be scheduled to visit the library with their English or Reading classes, but they can also come to the library on their own during class (with a pass from their teacher), and after eating lunch.
Books can be checked out for three weeks and renewed online if no one else has them on hold.
Up to 5 books may be checked out at a time, but we ask that students only take what they think they can read within the check-out period.
E-books, e-audiobooks, and e-magazines are always available. Check out this page for more information.
