Branches
The seven branches range in size from large regional libraries to small neighborhood branches.
Each branch has an advisory board that helps support the library and raise funds. Another source of funding is the annual book sale put on by the Loudoun Library Foundation.
The LCPL system branch libraries are:
- Ashburn
- Cascades (Potomac Falls)
- Lovettsville
- Middleburg
- Purcellville
- Rust (Leesburg)
- Sterling
- Gum Spring (under construction in Dulles)

Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
