Welcome to the Arlington Public Library!
Whether you are getting to know the library for the first time or have been with us for years, we are glad you’re here. Our services are many and varied, and it is my hope that we have whatever it is you are looking for. From books, DVDs, and eBooks to programs for ages young and old, it is our goal to provide useful and meaningful services and experiences to people of all ages and stages of life.
I’m originally from Connecticut but I “got to Texas as fast as I could”. My family is originally from Peru and I lived there for many years as a child. I was first introduced to public libraries by my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. CIifford. I became an avid reader while learning English, my second language. Years later, while in college, I started working at the Hartford, Connecticut Public Library. I worked in numerous capacities and it was in Hartford that I realized I wanted to be a librarian. I found community engagement, literacy and empowerment to be the perfect combination in public libraries. I moved to Texas to pursue a graduate degree. I began my career in Arlington as the children’s librarian at the Northeast Branch in 2001 and since then have filled numerous roles including Area Branch Manager, Administrator for Programming and Administrator for Operations.
It is my hope that you visit our facilities, engage with staff and discover what Arlington Public Library has to offer. Our office is open to hear your feedback and ideas. Please let us know how we are doing and what steps we can take to better serve you and the community.
Sincerely,
Norma Zuniga
Director of Libraries
