It is located at 1547 Alabama Avenue SE.[1] A small library kiosk opened in the area in 1976, and a somewhat larger facility opened in 1984,[2] which was eventually replaced in 2009 by a new $878,000 library facility.[3]

The notably small 4,900-square-foot library is located in a leased space in the Shops at Parkland strip mall.[3][4][5][6] In 2019, the library system conducted a study of potential sites for an expanded library in the neighborhood, and the district has budgeted money for the project for fiscal year 2022. The new full-service, 20,000-square-foot plus library is proposed to be built next to the Congress Heights Station at 1290 Alabama Avenue SE.[6][7]
